Brazilian Soccer Star Charged For Murdering Mistress And Feeding Her Body To Pet Rottweilers After Finding Out She Was Pregnant

Remember the crazy story about the soccer star who allegedly killed his ex-jawn and fed her body parts to dogs?!?! Well, he’s been formally charged:

Married Bruno Fernandes de Souza, 27, a goalkeeper once tipped to play for Brazil, is alleged to have turned model Eliza Samudio ‘into a human sacrifice’ to preserve his reputation after she gave birth to his love child. He is already serving a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence after being convicted of assaulting and abducting Ms Samudio, 25, but will be tried for her murder later this year.

Prosecutors allege that Bruno planned Ms Samudio’s kidnap and murder with eight others, including his wife Dayane, a teenage cousin and former detective Luiz Santos, all of whom have been charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and kidnapping.
The goalkeeper, who played for Brazilian club Flamengo, is said to have watched as Santos committed ‘barbaric tortures’ on Ms Samudio before helping the former detective dismember her body.

arts of the woman’s body are alleged to have been fed to Bruno’s dogs while the rest was buried in concrete.
Bruno is accused of ordering his wife to tell people that his love child, who was four months old at the time of the killing, had been adopted by them from a poor relative.
It is also claimed that Bruno told police Ms Samudio was ‘a whore who will not be missed by anyone’.
‘We have witnesses who will testify that he turned this girl into a human sacrifice merely to try to protect his reputation.’
The trial is expected to hear that Bruno met Ms Samudio at a party held by a teammate.
He said they drove her some 220 miles to a property in Belo Horizonte which the footballer and his wife used occasionally as a weekend retreat, where Ms Samudio was tortured. It is claimed that Santos played loud music on the stereo to drown out the woman’s screams. Bruno, whose contract with Flamengo has been suspended, also faces charges of kidnapping, hiding a body and forming a criminal gang with intent to murder.
He has maintained his innocence throughout, claiming he has a ‘clear conscience’.
