Brazilian police investigating the murder of Brent Sikkema, a prominent New York art dealer who was found stabbed to death last month in his Rio de Janeiro apartment, are now seeking the arrest of his husband, Daniel Sikkema.
It was a shocking twist in a case that has captivated the art world.
A lawyer for Daniel Sikkema, Fabiana Marques, said that he was innocent and that he remained in New York, where he was “shocked” by the latest development.
When Brent Sikkema was found slain in Rio, investigators said that at least $40,000 had been stolen.
(The police originally identified Mr. Prevez with the surname Trevez.)
