Amanda Carine Barbosa Rodrigues is the Brazilian wife of ex-boxing world champion Arturo Gatti, and she is the prime murder suspect in his death.

Gatti who held the IBF super-featherweight and WBC light-welterweight world titles, was found dead on Saturday at Hotel Dorisol in Porto de Galinhas, on the south coast of Pernambuco state.

Rodrigues is the principal suspect of having committed the crime because she was the only one in the room with the former champion and the last one seen with him when he was alive.
