Brazilian footballer accused of ordering model's murder

A former Brazilian football star said to have orchestrated the murder of his ex-girlfriend went on trial in a case that includes claims that the young model was lured to a ranch where she was held hostage, killed and her body dismembered.

The case of the former Flamengo goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes - known in Brazil just as Bruno - and Eliza Samudio has riveted the country, shocked the football world and its twists and turns have reached the level of a macabre soap opera, including allegations that the model has never been found because her remains were fed to dogs.
