Footballer Joao Santos is pictured beaming with pride inside the health food store he'd opened since retiring.
But the happy scene took a shocking turn after he was kidnapped from the store, BEHEADED and his severed head dumped on his doorstep.

Horrified police in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, believe Joao Santos was targeted by drugs gangs because his wife Geisa, 31, works at a police base.

She found her husband's severed head dumped on her doorstep on Wednesday after he had been kidnapped.

The player's eyes and tongue had been cut out and his head placed inside his own rucksack.

Witnesses said they saw several men bundling him into his car after he closed his store on Monday.

A relative said Geisa stayed up all night after her husband failed to arrive home.

He added: "She was getting ready to go to work at 5.30am when she heard a noise, opened the door and saw his rucksack.

"Inside was his head. From what I know, neither had any enemies."

Geisa is a social worker with military police battling violent gangs in Rio's notorious slums. Police hunting for Joao's body called it a "barbarous crime."

Santos had a successful career as a professional footballer, playing for several teams in Rio as well as clubs in Sweden and Honduras.
