Arturo Gatti’s wife arrested for murder case
Amanda Rodrigues Gatti, 23 years old wife of the former boxing champion Arturo Gatti 37 has been arrested by Brazillian police in the connection of murder of her husband inside a hotel room. Gatti was found dead on Saturday July 11 in a hotel room at the Porto de Galinhas resort in northeastern Brazil. Police told that she was arrested due to the contradiction in her statements when questions asked about the death of her husband.
Brazilian authorities have charged the wife of slain former boxing champion Arturo Gatti on Sunday July 12 at 1:20 pm. It was reported that Arturo Gatti returned to the room in drunken position, hit her wife and pushed her to the floor.

Both had gone for second honeymoon with their 1 year old son Arturo Jr.
Amanda’s eyes were hidden by giant designer sunglasses as she walked to a police cruiser in low-rise blue jeans and a clingy white top. Police told that she was the only suspect as her purse was found stained with blood in their rented apartment at the luxurious Dorisol Resort in the turquoise-water paradise town of Porto de Galinhas.
The friends who were close to them told that their relationship was not based on love and it could get violent at any time. Witnesses told that they were fighting when they returned from the bar on Saturday early morning. Amanda murdered her husband and left her child an orphan is a great tragedy and now she has to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Gatti won 40 of his 49 professional fights, including 31 by knockout. He was raised in Montreal but became a star in Atlantic City, where he won his first title. He moved to New Jersey in 1991 and delighted crowds there until his retirement in 2007. He won the junior welterweight title in 2004.
