Amanda Rodrigues Gatti

Boxing legend Arturo Gatti's petite 23 year-old-wife choked the life out of him with her purse strap while he slept in a swanky Brazilian resort, cops charged Sunday.Amanda Carine Barbosa Rodrigues, a 23-year-old former exotic dancer, looked unfazed as cops escorted her out of a police station in Recife, Brazil.

The stunner's eyes were hidden by giant designer sunglasses as she walked to a police cruiser in low-rise blue jeans and a clingy white top that showed off the toned physique that first caught Gatti's eye.

The busty bombshell's purse was found stained with blood in their rented apartment at the luxurious Dorisol Resort in the turquoise-water paradise town of Porto de Galinhas.

"She is the only suspect," a police spokesman said.
