Protests planned for signing of murderer Bruno

FEMALE campaigners are set to protest against Brazilian club Boa Esporte after they signed murderer Bruno Fernandes de Souza on Monday.

Bruno has served seven years of a 21-year sentence after he and his friends tortured and strangled the mother of his child to death, Eliza Samudio, before cutting her up and feeding her to his Rottweiler dogs.

Samudio sued the goalkeeper in 2010 over support for their child, with Bruno believing that the lawsuit could scupper a potential move to AC Milan.
