Newly discovered evidence suggests that former junior welterweight champion, Arturo Gatti, was murdered two years ago in Brazil.
After a 10-month investigation, new forensic evidence has challenged the initial report that Gatti committed suicide.
As Reported By The Associated Press:
“This case must be reopened if authorities in Brazil have an iota of moral, ethical and legal concern for their reputation,” said noted forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, who termed the version produced by the initial criminal investigation “pure, unadulterated fiction.”
Brazilian authorities initially considered Gatti’s wife a prime suspect and arrested her, but released her soon after and concluded Gatti had hung himself with a handbag strap.
