Brazilian authorities have taken the 23-year-old wife of former world boxing champion Arturo Gatti into custody in connection with the slaying of the Canadian fighter at a tourist resort.
Prosecutors will decide if Brazilian Amanda Rodrigues will be charged in the death of Gatti, the former junior welterweight champion who appeared to be strangled with a purse strap in a rented apartmentr at Porto de Galinhas.
Authorities were concerned about inconsistent statements given by Rodrigues, who has said she was not involved.
