In addition to Edineia and Antônio, the body of pilot Cláudio Atílio Mortari was also released this Thursday. However, there is still no date for the transfer, as the families of the pilot and co-pilot Kleiton Lima Almeida made an agreement for both to be taken together to Pará.

The latter’s body has not yet been identified by the IML. Although they are being released after analyzing their dental arches, everyone must undergo a DNA test.

According to the city of Envira, there will be a collective wake until 11pm this Thursday at the municipal gymnasium. The bodies will then go to their respective homes.

Four days after the tragic accident, the Technical-Scientific Police Department has already identified nine of the 12 victims’ bodies. Five were transferred to Eirunepé (AM) on Wednesday (1). Family members went on one flight and the bodies on another small plane.

Martins further explained that there is no forecast for the three bodies to be released, because identification will be done exclusively by DNA.

“This technique we use [arcada dentária] and we identified nine reached the limit, through studies, exams and expertise. So, it went as far as science and technique allowed. These remaining three will be using another technique, which is DNA testing, which is genetic comparison, and we are anticipating difficulties due to the state of the samples, which are very degraded and this makes DNA analysis difficult. Therefore, I reiterate that family members must be patient, as we cannot estimate the timeframe for releasing these three bodies. The samples are arriving from the interior and others from Pará, once here our genetics laboratory will put together the case and start working on the techniques”, he highlighted.

The identified victims are:

  • Jamilo Motta Maciel, 27 years old, he was a dentist and lived in Eirunepé;
