A Brazilian goalkeeper who ordered his girlfriend's murder before he fed
her body to his dog has
signed for a new club after serving just seven
years in jail. Bruno Fernandes de Souza, 32, has been handed a two-year
contract by second tier Brazilian side Boa Esporte - in a move that has
caused uproar in the country.
Women protested outside the stadium after the club announced their new singing.
Fernandes, known in Brazil as Bruno, was only recently released from
prison after serving seven years of a 22-year sentence following the
2010 murder.
He was tipped for the top when he was playing for leading side and
five-time league winners Flamengo, before his arrest in August 2010.
The 6ft 3ins shot-stopper was the main suspect in the murder of his
former girlfriend Eliza Samudio, who he met at a footballers' party in
2009, and with whom he had a son.
The former Flamengo captain is said to have wanted his ex-partner dead
so he could avoid paying child support after she gave birth to his love
child.
Police believed Bruno planned her abduction and murder with eight
others, including his wife Dayane, another ex-lover, a younger cousin
and a former policeman turned hitman Luiz Santos.
