[CW: The following story includes descriptions of domestic violence]
According to Globo, Viviane Obenauf, 34, was arrested in Switzerland as “the main suspect” in the beating death of her husband; a 61-year-old man who prosecutors name only as ‘Thomas’, due to privacy laws.
Obenauf, who was born in Rio de Janeiro, is a former pro boxer with a 14-6 record. During her career she held the WBF International lightweight and WBA International super featherweight titles.
Globo reported that the victim died at a residence he shared with Obenauf and that an investigation determined he had died of a “sustained violent assault”.
