    Police say 31-year-old Stepa Petrovic from Belgrade is suspected of "taking part in first-degree murder of French citizen" Brice Taton.

    Taton was among a group of Toulouse fans who were attacked by Partizan Belgrade hooligans before a Europa League match between the teams in September.

    Taton was badly injured in the attack and died several days later in a Belgrade hospital.

    Serbian authorities have arrested 10 suspects in the attack and moved to ban violent soccer groups.
