London, Sept 10 (ANI): A Brazilian footballer is set to go on trial after being accused of torturing and killing his mistress, and then feeding her dismembered body parts to his pet rottweilers.
Married Bruno Fernandes de Souza, 27, who played for Brazilian club Flamengo, allegedly 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 Samudio.
He will now be tried for her murder this year, the Daily Mail reports.
Prosecutors alleged that Bruno planned 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.
According to the report, parts of Samudio's body were allegedly fed to Bruno's dogs while the rest was buried in concrete.
Bruno reportedly ordered 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.
According to the paper, it is also claimed that Bruno told police Samudio was 'a whore who will not be missed by anyone'. (ANI)
