      The former actress had been tortured and strangled by a gang
      Actress and model Eliza Samudio, 25, was kidnapped and murdered by a gang in June 2010.
      She was tortured and beaten before being strangled and killed.
      Bruno Fernandes – who had an affair with Eliza and a son, followed by a paternity and child support lawsuit – later confessed to organising the sick plot.
      He was sentenced to 22 years in jail in March 2013 after a court found him guilty of ordering the model’s murder.

      In January this year, a court granted parole to Bruno, under the condition he presents himself at the Penitentiary Administration Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro every three months.
      And earlier this week, Orion Futebol Clube announced it snapped the footballer who was previously in Atletico Mineiro, Corinthians, and Flamengo.
      The club, which will compete in the Super Copa Pioneer this year, wrote: “Backup for the position, welcome!”
      Orion is the seventh team to have signed Bruno since 2017, when he was granted habeas corpus before being ordered to return to jail three months later.

      Bruno’s last team was Atletico Carioca in Sao Goncalo, Rio de Janeiro State.
      Despite being married with two daughters, the footballer would often attend marathon 24-hour sex parties- in one of which he met Eliza in May 2009.
      They started a relationship but three months later Eliza became pregnant.
      During her pregnancy she went to the police, claiming she had been kidnapped by two of Bruno’s friends who forced her to take an illegal drug that would induce miscarriage.
      The drug did not work and in ­February 2010 she gave birth to Bruninho — which translates as “Little Bruno”.
      After the baby’s birth, she was lured into a car on the promise that Bruno would give her an apartment and all the maintenance pay she wanted but she was driven with her baby to Bruno’s house instead.

      There she was strapped to a chair and beaten for six days by a gang that included Bruno’s wife, another ­former lover, his teenage cousin and a former police officer, Marcos Santos.
      Eliza was tortured as loud music was blasting before she was eventually strangled in front of her son.
      Her disappearance sparked a massive police investigation but the truth came to light when one of Bruno’s co-conspirators-his teenage cousin- confessed everything. 
      Although he initially denied any involvement, Bruno finally broke down in court and confessed to his part in the plot.
      He claimed he had not made the order to kill Eliza but had “accepted” it and knew she had been killed.
      He was sentenced to 22 years in prison after the judge said he had “meticulously calculated” the execution.
      His closed prison sentence was converted to a semi-open prison sentence in July 2019.
      In a semi-open prison regime, prisoners are allowed to work outside the prison during the day, but they must return to the prison each night.

      The Court of Appeal in London yesterday heard Cole and his partner Sharon Canu had been the victims of a raid at their Surrey home in January 2020.
      Dilks, of Nottingham, was the only one of the gang to be caught after his DNA was recovered on the cable ties.
      He was convicted of conspiracy to rob following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court in July 2022.
      Dilks was handed a 30-year term and ordered to serve an extended licence period of five years by Judge James Sampson.

      He argued that the sentence was excessive but appeal judges Lord Justice Holroyde, Mr Justice Kerr, and Judge Timothy Spencer ruled against him.
      Dilks and five other men had been convicted for their roles in a string of what prosecutors said were “ruthlessly executed” robberies and burglaries between October 2018 and January 2020.
      He was also found guilty of conspiring to rob the wife of ex-Derby player Tom Huddlestone in May 2019, along with two other men. More

      F1 ace Lando Norris ‘robbed of his incredibly rare £144,000 designer watch while leaving Wembley after Euro 2020 final’

      by

      F1 ACE Lando Norris was robbed of his “unique” £144,000 designer watch in Wembley Stadium’s VIP car park, a court heard yesterday.The McLaren driver, 23, was targeted for his Richard Mille timepiece – one of only five in the world – as he walked to his £165,000 McLaren GT after the Euro 2020 final.

      The Richard Mille “prototype limited edition McLaren watch”, also known as the RM6702, was the only one in the world with a blue strap made to measure for the driver’s wrist.
      Despite never being made available for sale, the designer estimates the value to be around £144,000 – excluding VAT.
      Liam Williams, 25, from Merseyside has denied robbing the Belgian-British F1 star on July 11, 2021.
      He appeared at court today wearing a navy-blue t-shirt and grey ripped jeans.

      The robbery came after England’s defeat to Italy on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
      Tyrone Silcott, prosecuting, said the attack happened in the VIP yellow car park at Wembley Stadium following the final.
      Mr Norris told Harrow Crown Court it was midnight and raining as he spoke to members of the public next to his McLaren.
      He then realised two suspects were circling the car.
      Most read in Motorsport
      He added: “I noticed the suspect looking around my car and myself while keeping his head down. I believe his right hand was near, or on, his pocket.”
      The first suspect “slowly approached”, he added.
      “When I turned towards him, he asked me ‘is this your car?’ I do not recall exactly what happened.
      “Suspect 1 then went behind me and put his right arm around my neck and his left arm was under my back.
      “Suspect 1 pushed me into him and pulled me back by my neck.”
      Lando was left looking up at the sky as the first man told the second to “grab the watch”.
      He added: “Suspect 2 struggled to get the watch for a while however they used force to pull the watch off leaving scratches on my arm.
      “When suspect 1 had his arm around my neck the suspect manages to get the watch off my left wrist.”
      After just 30 seconds the attackers ran away via a nearby pedestrian walkway.
      Cops took two swabs from the F1 driver, two from his neck and two from his left wrist, where the watch was stolen.
      The prosecutor said the tests suggested a match with Williams’ DNA.
      And Williams’ phone records show he travelled to Wembley from Liverpool on the day of the theft.
      His phone was logged near Wembley Stadium in the early hours of July 12, 2021 before travelling back to Liverpool on July 13, 2021.
      Williams was arrested in Liverpool on July 18, 2021 on suspicion of robbery and attended a voluntary interview that day, where he answered no comment to all questions.
      He was interviewed again on July 19 and answered no comment again to all questions.
      On that same day a “video identification” took place, however Mr Norris was unable to identify him as one of the robbers, jurors heard.

      He then attended a third interview on December 12, 2021 where he again answered no comment to all questions.
      The trial continues. More
