The missing former lover of a top Brazilian football star was strangled and then fed to dogs, police say.\u00c2\u00a0 Eliza Samudio (in photo) has been missing for nearly a month<\/p>\n

Eliza Samudio, 25, was a former girlfriend of Bruno Fernandes, goalkeeper for Flamengo, Brazil’s most popular club.<\/p>\n

He handed himself into police after a warrant was issued for his arrest over her disappearance nearly a month ago.<\/p>\n

Mr Fernandes, 25, has denied any wrongdoing, and said he has a “clear conscience”.<\/p>\n

But police say a teenage cousin of Mr Fernandes has given evidence that the goalkeeper was involved in her kidnap and suspected murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ms Samudio had said that the married footballer was the father of her baby.<\/p>\n

Search for remains<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police say Ms Samudio was taken by force from a hotel in Rio de Janeiro on the day of her disappearance and was strangled in the city of Belo Horizonte.<\/p>\n

They say her body was cut up and parts were fed to dogs, while the rest was buried under concrete.<\/p>\n

Police are still searching for her remains, but say her death is “materially proven”.<\/p>\n

\"Bruno<\/a><\/p>\n

Bruno Fernandes is team captain of Rio de Janeiro’s Flamengo<\/em><\/p>\n

Police have also arrested Mr Fernandes’s wife, Dayane Souza, and several of his friends.<\/p>\n

They say interrogation of the other suspects has backed up the account given by Mr Fernandes’s teenage cousin.<\/p>\n

Flamengo have suspended Mr Fernandes’s contract and say the club lawyer will no longer be acting in his defence.<\/p>\n

He had been goalkeeper of the Rio de Janeiro club since 2006, and captained them to the Brazilian championship last year.<\/p>\n

Mr Fernandes has expressed regret that the allegations could damage his chances of playing for Brazil in the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals.<\/p>\n
