体坛英语资讯:Flamengos goalkeeper turns himself up to the police
Bruno Fernandes, first string goalkeeper of Brazilian world-renowned soccer team Flamengo, turned himself up to the police on Wednesday afternoon.
He is accused of ordering the kidnapping of 25-year-old Eliza Samudio, his former mistress and mother of his alleged child. Samudio, who is missing since early June, is believed to having been killed, but the extent of Bruno's participation in the murder has yet to be determined.
The court issued a prison warrant for Bruno on late Tuesday, after a witness told the police that Samudio had indeed been killed. The witness, found earlier in the week in Rio, is reportedly Bruno's 17-year-old cousin.
According to the teenager, Samudio was kidnapped in Rio in early June and killed some days later, in neighboring Minas Gerais state. The boy admitted to injuring Samudio but not to killing her. The police is still unsure about who actually committed the murder.
Besides Bruno, the court also issued prison warrants to Macarrao, to Bruno's wife, Dayanne Rodrigues do Carmo Souza, and other five people. All of them have been arrested, and Macarrao turned himself up on Wednesday afternoon.
Samudio and her four-month-old baby went missing in early June. On June 23, the police received an anonymous tip that the young woman had been beaten to death in Bruno's cottage, in Minas Gerais state. The baby was found in the next day in Minas Gerais, in a house where he had been sent to by Bruno's wife.
Both Bruno and his wife claim they do not know what happened to Samudio. They say she abandoned the baby, leaving the child under their care. However, investigations point to murder - blood was found in the goalkeeper's car, and analysis showed it is Samudio's. Additionally, a witness claims that Samudio has been to Bruno' s Minas Gerais house in early June, which he denies.
