Preliminary charges of murder have been filed against three men suspected of taking part in an attack on a Paris Saint-Germain fan who died earlier this week.

The three suspects, who were part of a group of four people arrested last week, have been freed under judicial supervision, the Paris prosecutor's office said Friday.

The 38-year-old PSG fan died late Wednesday after spending weeks in a coma following an attack by rival PSG supporters.

He had suffered serious head injuries during street clashes among PSG fan groups at a Feb. 28 French league match against Marseille.

A fourth suspect was charged last week.
