The Spanish foreign minister has named the two journalists as David Beriain, 44, a reporter, and Roberto Fraile, 47, a photographer. They were working on a documentary on Burkina Faso's attempts to protect its natural resources from poachers and on communities who live in the country's national parks. (From the link above.)

The Irish citizen have been named locally as Rory Young, the co-founder and president of an anti-poaching organisation called Chengeta.

The bodies of the three European men killed in an ambush in Burkina Faso have arrived to Spain. The two Spanish journalists are to be awarded Spain's highest honour posthumously by the Spanish government.
The body of the Irish national will be taken to Ireland later on, as he was born in Zambia, but had Irish roots.

There are no reports about the Bukina Faso soldier who also was abducted, but he was most likely also killed.
