Brazilian star footballer, Bruno
Fernandes de Souza, 28, has admitted that his former girlfriend, Eliza Samundio, 25, was murdered, dismembered and fed to his rottweilers. He is being accused of having Eliza killed to
avoid paying child support after she gave birth to his love child.
The goalkeeper who was tipped to play for Brazil
at the 2014 World Cup had previously denied any knowledge of what
happened to the 25-year-old, claiming Eliza was alive and had left the country. But yesterday, he told a Brazilian court how
his best friend Luiz Henrique Romao had paid someone to kill her. He
admitted that although he hadn't ordered his former lover to be killed,
he had 'accepted' it.
Why do people just throw their lives
and hard earned success away such stupidity and greed? May he get all
that is due to him for depriving a child his mother in such a gruesome
manner all because of money. Pls continue to read this very sad story
after the cut...
It has been alleged that he watched as
Santos tortured her and then helped him to chop her body and parts of
her corpse was fed to Bruno's pet rottweillers, while the rest was
buried in concrete. But he told a court in southeast Brazil, that his cousin, Jorge Rosa, who had witnessed the
murder, had told him what had happened. He
claimed that after kidnapping Ms Samudio, Romao had taken her to a
house in Belo Horizonte where hired killer Santos was waiting.
He said: 'There he held her hands and
asked [Romao] to tie them in front of her, and put a tie around her
neck and [Romao] even kicked Eliza's legs away. That's what Jorge told
me. And that they had chopped up her body, that they had thrown her
body for the dogs to eat.'
Before her disappearance on June 4,
2010, Ms Samudio had approached police claiming she had been held
captive by Bruno and his associates, who forced her to take an illegal
abortion drug.
Bruno allegedly put a gun to her head and told her: 'You don't know who
I am or what I'm capable of - I'm from the favela.' The baby, Bruninho,
was born in February 2010, but the player refused to acknowledge he was
the father.
Prosecutors
allege that Bruno ordered Ms Samudio's murder after she told him she
would take legal action to force him to pay child support. In
a statement to police, the footballer's teenage cousin Jorge Rosa
claimed he and Romao picked up Ms Samudio and her son from a Rio de
Janeiro hotel after she accepted an invitation by the footballer to talk
about the paternity claims.
He
said they drove her 220 miles to a property in Belo Horizonte which
Bruno and his wife used as a weekend retreat, where she was held captive
for six days. Ms Samudio
was then allegedly handed over to former military policeman Santos, who
committed 'barbaric tortures' on her before strangling her to death with
a neck tie in front of her four-month-old son.
Santos,
who was allegedly paid £8,000 to murder her, played loud music on a
stereo to drown out the woman's screams, it is claimed. Edson
Moreira, a detective who investigated the case, said: 'His acts were
almost impossible to describe without breaking down - images from the
worst nightmare you could imagine.'
Police
later found Ms Samudio's four-month-old baby in a Belo Horizonte slum,
alleged to have been abandoned there by Bruno's wife Dayane. DNA tests
later proved the footballer's paternity. The child is now being looked
after by Ms Samudio's mother.
Bruno's trial, which began on Monday, is expected to conclude today. If found guilty he could be jailed for up to 41 years.
