Teenagers held in Brazil on suspicion of British kayaker's murder

Police investigating disappearance of Emma Kelty, 43, say they have arrested three people, including two 17-year-olds, and are looking for four others

Two teenagers and a third man have been arrested over the murder of a British woman who went missing in Brazil while kayaking alone from the source of the Amazon to the Atlantic.

Emma Kelty, a 43-year-old primary school headteacher, was last heard from when she triggered a distress signal last Wednesday while in a notoriously dangerous area.In a statement, police in the state capital Manaus said they had arrested one 17-year-old male on Monday in Codajis, 150 miles (240km) away, and a second on Tuesday in Lauro Sodri(C), where Kelty was killed. That Amazon community lies two hours from the town of Coari, where police arrested the third man, who has been named as Erinei Ferreira da Silva. They are also seeking four other suspects.
