Edwin Valero has admitted today to killing his 24-year-old wife, Jennifer Carolina Viera in a hotel in Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela.
Before he left the hotel around dawn on Sunday, Valero allegedly admitted to hotel security that he had murdered his wife.
Police found three stab wounds on Viera’s body and Valero was transferred a local police precinct.
Edwin Valero, nicknamed “El Inca” alluding to an Indian warrior, is a former WBA Super Featherweight Champion and WBC Lightweight Champion.
This sad news might derail Valero’s boxing career.
Valero was previously held for allegations of beating his wife and mother.
He also has a history of drug and alcohol addiction and entered a Venezuelan rehabilitation center on March 28.
