Police in north eastern Brazil are searching for a referee after a player was stabbed to death during an amateur football match in Barreira in Ceara state.

A spokesman for the Ceara state military police said referee Francisco Chaves had killed Jose da Silva, 35, and injured his brother Francisco in a fight, after whistling for a foul against the visiting Boa-Fe (good faith) team from Redencao (redemption), and then fled the scene.

Major Marcos Paulo said Francisco da Silva kicked the referee after he blew up for the foul near the Boa-Fe penalty area, sparking the fight, and Jose da Silva went to his brother's aid only to be stabbed in the chest and killed.

"Because it was an amateur game, there was no policing so the referee fled after the crime," Paulo said.

"We've already made some searches for him and received information that he might hand himself in today but for now he's a fugitive."

Francisco da Silva was in hospital with knife wounds in his ribs.

Local media said the dead man, Jose da Silva, was a security guard in Redencao.

Holy shít, that might change a few minds about playing in Brazil.

Matters were made worse when the ref saw a replay and realised it wasn't a dive he booked him for

When the ref stabbed him he went down like he had been shot, amateur is right, amateur dramatics.

Lads a man has been stabbed to death in a game of soccer, It's not AH, don't think the jokes are all that necessary.

I get what you mean but in my opinion (Just mine now) me being sad on an internet forum in a completely different country to the whole incident, isn't going to upset the family, add in the fact I don't know the guy. Don't get me wrong its by no means a happy occasion but I don't see what posting RIP etc, are going to do.

I don't even know how to reply to that, that's just ignorance of the highest order tbh.

Just because you don't know them, and they are in a different country, it's alright to make jokes about there death??

Shocking.

I didn't laugh at his death so get down off that high horse there. I said its sad that he died, like it would be when anyone dies, but everyone dies I don't believe in getting upset about it.

I don't see the difference between laughing at it, and making a joke out of it, in fact i think making a joke out of it is worse, Sorry, i'll edit my post for you.

You don't get upset about people dying, at all? even relatives?

I get a little bit upset yeah but nothing really. My grandad died and I didn't get upset about it call it unemotional or just being a tw*t but everyone is going to die. Why get upset about it?

I find this a bit odd myself.

He just couldn't have been refing a match while carrying a knife on him could he?

Maybe something was handed to him when the fighting broke out.
