RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Police released a composite sketch Friday of the man suspected of killing an environmentalist who dedicated his life to protecting rare monkeys in Brazil’s Atlantic rain forest. Environmentalist Eduardo Veado, 46, and his wife, Simone Furtini Abras, 41, died after being run over as they walked along a country road Oct. 5. Veado apparently had received death threats for denouncing illegal logging around the town of Ipanema, about 250 miles northeast of Rio de Janeiro. Police said they were treating Veado’s death as a homicide but did not think it was connected to the threats.
