The wife of Boxer Arturo Gatti, Amanda Rodrigues was detained this weekend after her husband was found dead in their vacation home in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. Authorities say that Rodrigues is the main suspect in Gatti’s death. According to reports by the Associated Press, Roridgues strangled Gatti with her purse strap.
Police suspect Rodrigues because she was the only person around after his death and made inconsistent statements during her interrogation. No motive has been mentioned by authorities as to why Rodrigues would want to kill her husband, thus the case is still developing.
It’s hard to believe that Rodrigues, 23 had the ability to kill her husband, who was the former feather weight champion of the world throughout the mid 90’s. As unfortunate as this story is, it amazes me that it’s the second one in which a pro sports athlete is killed by a younger woman (see Steve Mcnair).

I wonder if there was some domestic abuse type shit going down and she thought killing him was the only way out, or if she's just batshit crazy. either way, total bummer

Time is cash as the outdated saying goes, and by studying this post, I noticed that I saved myself numerous valuable time, which would have been in any other case spent on reading low consistency info all around the almighty web. Thank you for the straight to the purpose, beneficial input!

Murderous lying Amanda Rodrigues. I hope she goes to jail and is executed is she actually killed the great Arturo Gatti. What was he thinking marrying such a low level stripper - hooker? He paid the ultimate price of marrying below your class.

Also - their judicial system over there sucks. They just want to spit in Arturo's face to say - "so what you are famous - you are in Brazil now - f you" Low life pieces of dog crap. Bunch of bottom feeders!!
