- — AFP

Brasilia: Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered the re-incarcerat­ion Tuesday of a profession­al goalkeeper released after partially serving a sentence for the gruesome murder of his ex-girlfriend. “The Supreme Court has revoked its decision suspending his imprisonme­nt,” the court said in a statement. The goalkeeper, Bruno Fernandes das Dores de Souza, must return to custody “with immediate effect,” a court source said. Bruno, as he is universall­y known in Brazil, was freed in February by the top court pending an appeal against his 2013 sentence of 22 years prison for his role in the woman’s slaying. He’d been incarcerat­ed since 2010 for his role in the kidnapping, imprisonme­nt and killing of model Eliza Samudio, who had sued him for child support after he got her pregnant. Samudio’s body has never been found. Bruno admitted in court he had conspired with friends to kill her and that her body had been fed in pieces to dogs.
