UPDATE: Brazillian Star Footballer Sentenced To 22 Years In Prison For Killing His Girlfriend And Feeding Her Body To Dogs

A star Brazilian footballer has been jailed for more than two decades for ordering the kidnap and murder of his girlfriend, who was dismembered and fed to his pet dogs.

Bruno Fernandes de Souza, 28, who was tipped to play for Brazil at the 2014 World Cup, and was to be transferred to AC Milan for a Million Pounds was sentenced to 22 years and three months in prison for the murder of Eliza Samudio, whom he apparently had killed to avoid paying child support after she gave birth to his love child….He was arrested last year HERE for kidnapping her and he admitted to the crime last week HERE. 

Judge Marixa Fabiane Rodrigues said the goalkeeper, who played for Brazil’s biggest team Flamengo, had ‘meticulously calculated’ Ms Samudio’s execution.

He told the court in Contagem, south-east Brazil, that the footballer was ‘twisted’ and had ‘instilled in his personality a total misunderstanding of values.’

He added: ‘Bruno believed that, by making the body disappear, he could ensure total impunity.’

The former player had previously denied any knowledge of what happened to the 25-year-old, but told a court this week how his best friend Luiz Henrique Romao had paid someone to kill her.
