The National Indian Foundation (Funai) reported today (29) that no evidence of homicide or death by drowning was found in the Aracaçá community, in the Waiakás region, in the Yanomami Land, in Roraima. According to the agency, the preliminary conclusion was reached after extensive diligence and information gathering with indigenous people in the village. 
On Monday (25), indigenous leader Júnior Hekurari Yanomami published a video on social media in which he denounced that a 12-year-old teenager had been raped and killed by miners in the community.
“After extensive investigations and information gathering with indigenous people from the Arakaça village, in the Yanomami Indigenous Land (RR), the Federal Police, the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), the National Indian Foundation (Funai) and the Special Secretariat for Indigenous Health ( Sesai), with the support of the Army and the Brazilian Air Force, found no evidence of the practice of crimes of homicide and rape or death by drowning, as reported by the District Council for Indigenous Health”, reported Funai.
According to Funai, the bodies involved continue to seek further clarification.
