( CNN ) -- The man trying to prosecute a Brazilian soccer goalie and eight other people on murder charges in the case of a missing woman said Thursday that even though police have not found a body , he will proceed . `` There 's no need to find the corpse to prove the death . There are many other ways to prove death . In case the corpse is found , only one proof is needed , which is the autopsy report . But in this case , all other proofs will be united and suppress the need of an autopsy report , '' prosecutor Gustavo Fabrini said . Goalie Bruno Fernandes Das Dores de Souza 's new attorney , Ercio Quaresma , said it 's `` irresponsible '' to charge the nine suspects with corpse concealment , since no body has been found . `` It 's an inconsequence to sign something like that not having concrete proof , '' Quaresma said . The goalie , his lover and his wife were among the nine people charged with the murder of his former girlfriend , who had been trying to prove he had fathered her son . The prosecutor filed the charges against de Souza and eight others in Contagem , Brazil , on Wednesday . Charges include murder , kidnapping , imprisonment , concealment of a corpse , and corruption of a minor . Eliza Samudio , 25 , remains missing two months after she was last reported seen . A former policeman , Marcos Aparecido dos Santos , was also charged with murder and concealment of a corpse in the case . Fabrini said Thursday that none of the nine suspects is being accused of conspiracy , contradicting what police had previously said . The other seven suspects were named as Luiz Henrique Ferreira Romao , Fernanda Gomes de Castro , Dayanne Souza , Elenilson Vitor da Silva , Sergio Rosa Sales , Wemerson Marques de Souza and Flavio Caetano de Araujo . All of the suspects are in jail , except for one , who is being sought . Souza 's 17-year-old cousin told police the woman was killed . The teen said Souza watched as the missing woman was asphyxiated , mutilated and fed to dogs , local police investigator Wagner Pinto told reporters last month . Quaresma has said his client denies all the accusations and de Souza will not answer any questions for now . `` He has not spoken and he wo n't speak until the defense decides he needs to speak , '' the lawyer said . `` And that might not happen . '' Samudio was trying to prove that the goalie had fathered her infant son , who is currently being cared for by her mother , police said . The football star was last seen with Samudio in June as they headed for his country home in the state of Minas Gerais . The police investigator described her death to reporters last month . `` They tied her hands , and this other individual strangled her , '' Pinto said , referring to Santos . `` Later they de-boned and disemboweled her . '' The woman 's body was taken to an undisclosed location , where her remains were fed to several Rottweilers , police said . Quaresma decried the accusations . `` Are the Rottweilers being charged , too ? '' he asked reporters . Souza 's former attorney , Michel Assef Filho , said last month that the goalie has `` no knowledge of the facts . He is astonished and scared by his cousin 's testimony and that 's it . '' Filho stopped representing Souza when the Flamengo Club suspended Souza 's contract . The attorney works on behalf of the soccer club . The Flamengo Club said it suspended the goalie 's contract until all facts are known . Journalist Luciani Gomes contributed to this report .
