Arturo Gatti’s Wife, Amanda Rodrigues, Arrested (PHOTOS)
Although she has not been officially charged, Amanda Rodrigues has been arrested by the Brazilian Authorities after the death of her husband and former world boxing champion, Arturo Gatti.
Authorities detained Rodrigues early yesterday because of contradictions in her story when she was first questioned. Police called her version of what had happened “inconsistent and incoherent.”
Rodrigues could not explain how she had spent nearly 10 hours in the room without noticing that Gatti was dead, authorities said.
Cops released a photo of what they believe to be the murder weapons - a bloody purse strap used to strangle the boxing great and a knife used to stab him in the back of the head.
“She is the only suspect,” a police spokesman said.
