A Brazilian footballer jailed for ordering the murder of his girlfriend, whose body was then cut up and fed to his pet dogs, has been signed by a new club straight after being released from prison.

Goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes de Souza has been handed a two-year contract by Brazilian club Boa Esporte - a move that has caused uproar in the country.

Fernandes, known in Brazil as Bruno, was only recently released from prison after serving seven years of a 22-year sentence following the 2010 murder.
