Kdrtv looks at 5 footballers who have been convicted of murder in the world of football.

Bruno Fernandes de Souza

The Brazilian goalkeeper was in 2010 sentenced to 22 years in jail after being found of murdering his girlfriend Eliza Samudio. He was found guilty of concealing the model’s body, slicing it into small pieces, and giving it to the dogs.

Bruno was however released in February 2019 awaiting an appeal.

Diego Buonanotte

The Argentine winger survived a fatal car accident in December 2009 after he lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a tree. He was in the company of three of his friends who all died from the accident.

Diego made a remarkable recovery and returned to playing football after 5 months. Following his recuperation, local prosecutor Carlos Colimedaglia called for his arrest on three counts of manslaughter, but he was never prosecuted. The versatile winger plays in Chile for Universidad Catolica.

Patrick Kluivert

Kluivert was the Dutch public’s sweetheart during his first season at Ajax.
