Isn’t it amazing how fast a crime is solved when a police force is motivated and there is no one covering up the crime!
All began when the wife’s stories to police became inconsistent. Hmm, where have I heard that happen before?

You don’t have to be too strong when you bash some one in the head when they are asleep and then strangle them while they are unconscious.

Many of the signs were there from the outset. Although I hinted a bit I did not want to speculate too much.
The fact that he was killed in the room where his wife slept and she never awoke?
No sign of a break in and the police never referenced robbery.
The wife’s story started changing too much.
Gatti was killed with the strap of a purse. A killer/robber would have used something other than a purse of a murder weapon.
It just goes to show that when police put all the pieces of the puzzle together, it gets pretty easy to solve a crime. And fast. Aruba, are you paying attention?

What a crazy Bitch,dont they have a baby but its to late for post-partum anyway..how about he was going to divorce her..no you wouldnt go to sleep next to someone you have just told your going to dump, leave or…unless you have had numerous hits to the head,she found out he was cheating, he denied it or said “yeah so” and she will claim it was a crime of passion.Both so young.
Ok wait he was 36? and she is 23 he did assalt her before I mean the battery charges,So he was retired.
See thats why I have my own bedroom lol
sorry not funny
Maybe it’s time that the Marriage Laws need to be changed to require a proficient knowledge of the ease and benefits of a No Fault Divorce, prior to the issue of a Marriage License.
Because the murder occurred in Brazil is there any advantage given to the wife? Brazil does recognize Postpartum Depression as a illness.
[...] Arturo Gatti was a suicide. Gatti’s wife, Amanda Rodrigues, has been released from jail. She had been arrested by Brazilian police on suspicion if murder. Arturo Gatti was found dead in his rented condo [...]
