Gatti murder update: "Nothing is being ruled out"

Like a replay of the McNair case only with an accent. Story here.

'RIO DE JANEIRO (AP)—Brazilian police investigating the death of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti are working on the assumption his wife strangled him with her purse strap.

But police spokeswoman Milena Saraiva says Monday nothing is being ruled out in the investigation, including the possibility another person may have been involved. Gatti was found dead early Saturday in a seaside tourist resort.

Saraiva says police in the northeastern state of Pernambuco are focusing on Gatti’s 23-year-old Brazilian wife, Amanda Rodrigues. She is in custody and has been accused by police of killing Gatti. Rodrigues has yet to be charged and has denied any involvement in the death.'

So a room-bandit busted into their room, bashed his head in and then strangled him with his wife's purse, then forcibly drugged her so she would forget the last 10 hours.

Yeah, that's it.

"So a room-bandit busted into their room, bashed his head in and then strangled him with his wife's purse, then forcibly drugged her so she would forget the last 10 hours."

What really happened is the roombandit hung around outside in a tree looking through the window, waiting to see if she would get drunk or take drugs of her own volition. Then when she did, he leapt at the opportunity to use her purse...
