Amanda Rodrigues Gatti in Custody

Amanda Rodrigues Gatti has been taken in custody, after she became ne of the suspects of the murder of his husband, boxer Arturo Gatti. Yesterday we reported that the circumstances of death were not clear, today we know that he was strangled with a woman’s purse.

The Gatti couple went supposedly to Brazil to celebrate a second honeymoon with their child.

The investigators immediately thought that his wife was involved in his murder, as there were no clear signs of death.  After further  investigations, they found out that Amanda Rodrigues Gatti gave contradicting testimony, which lead them to take her in custody.

Arturo Gatti was 37 years old, and he had to testify next week for a boxing weigh-in problem in 2000.

Those were the news on Amanda Rodrigues Gatti.
