Gatti's Wife Made Suspect In Fighter's Death

After Arturo Gatti was found yesterday, Brazillian police have now revealed that Gatti's wife Amanda Rodrigues has been made a suspect in their investigation after inconsistencies in her testimony raised suspicion.

Fellow fighter and close friend of Gatti, Acelino Freitas claimed that the couple were having trouble and were due to split.

What actually happened on the night is still unclear after new elements have been added and stories have changed. A bloody purse strap was found at the scene indicating that Gatti may have been strangled. Also Rodrigues claims she went to sleep and woke up at 6am to take care of their one-year-old child. She thought Gatti was sleeping called for him and when she tried to wake him around 9am, she noticed he was dead. Police authorities say that he could have been dead for up to eight hours prior to their arrival to the scene of the crime.
