Brazilian newspaper photographer Walgney Assis Carvalho was shot dead by a man who walked up behind him in a fish restaurant and fired three shots at close range.

The murder of the freelancer in Coronel Fabriciano in the south-eastern state of Minas Gerais on 14 April came one month after the killing of crime reporter Rodrigo Neto de Faria. Both men worked for the newspaper Vale do Aço.

Carvalho is the fourth journalist to be killed in Brazil this year.
