Canadian boxer held in Mexico, accused of almost beating a woman to death

Peter Nowaczeck, a 27-year-old pro boxer from Toronto, Canada, is currently jailed in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (per Toronto Star). He faces charges of attempted murder aggravated with femicide.

Nowaczeck, who trained at a gym in Toronto’s Cabbagetown, was arrested last week on suspicion of attacking two women in the popular resort city on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.

According to Toronto Star one of the victims of the attack, Jamie Coutts of Vancouver, is the subject of a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for medical expenses. At this time of writing that campaign had raised $43,230 towards its goal of $50,000.
