Outrage at murderer's new deal

RIO DE JANEIRO - Sponsors deserted a Brazilian soccer club on Monday over its plan to sign a goalkeeper convicted in the murder of his girlfriend, whose body was dismembered and fed to dogs.

Bruno Fernandes - known simply as Bruno - was still due to sign a contract with Boa Esporte, a spokesman for the second-division club told AFP.

Bruno was released from prison last month after an appeal to the Supreme Court.
