Brazilian sports journalist murdered

Brazilian sports journalist Valerio Luiz de Oliveira was murdered by a gunman on a motorcycle who drew up next to his car as he was leaving the offices of Radio 820 AM in Goinania.

His widow, Lorena de Oliveira, said Luiz - who hosted radio talk shows and provided sports commentary for several TV stations - had received threats. He was warned that someone would "retire" him.

His father, Manuel de Oliveira, who was also a sports journalist, said: "I think it has something to do with his comments about football."
