The missing former lover of a top Brazilian football star was strangled and then fed to dogs, police say. Eliza Samudio, 25, was a former girlfriend of Bruno Fernandes, goalkeeper for Flamengo, Brazil's most popular club. He handed himself into police after a warrant was issued for his arrest over her disappearance nearly a month ago. Mr Fernandes, 25, has denied any wrongdoing, and said he has a “clear conscience”. But police say a teenage cousin of Mr Fernandes has given evidence that the goalkeeper was involved in her kidnap and suspected murder. added by: jubal
