Ex-Boxer Arturo Gatti Found Dead
Ex-Boxing Champ Arturo Gatti was found dead in his Brazilian hotel room. According to news reports,the Brazil police believe that the wife of Gatti, Amanda, strangled Arturo with her purse strap. The bloody strap was found in the apartment at the Porto de Galinhas resort.
Boxing champ Arturo Gatti’s wife was arrested and taken into custody yesterday by Brazilian cops. Friends close to the slain fighter said they had feared that either “he was going to kill her or she was going to kill him.”
Gatti’s wife, Amanda Carina Barbosa Rodrigues, 23, was being held yesterday because the Brazilian native can’t explain how she didn’t realize for nearly 10 hours that he was dead in a beach-resort apartment where they were staying with their 1-year-old son.
Gatti, 37, reportedly was drunk and arguing with his wife Friday night at a resort bar. Amanda Rodrigues is expected to be charged with his murder. A police spokeswoman told Reuters: “She [Rodrigues] is the only suspect.”
She was taken in to custody because her story was considered “inconsistent and incoherent.”
What the heck is going on in our world today. Does anybody know how to just divorce anymore? And what about the children? Does anybody every think of their kids before they act in a violent way that will change the lives of everyone forever? Guess not.
