Serbian police make arrest in soccer fan death

  • Print

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP)—Serbian police say they have arrested another suspect in the fatal attack on a French soccer fan in Belgrade two months ago.

Police say a 39-year-old man identified only as Dejan S. from Belgrade is suspected of taking part in the killing 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 11 suspects in the attack and moved to ban violent soccer fan groups.

Serbian authorities don’t release the full last name of criminal suspects.

    Human idiocy knows no boundaries. I'm referring to all the luminaries below (#3, #4, #7, #11, #13, #19, #23) that use the occasion to spout insults to Serbia or "the serbs" in general, as if the few moronic hooligans that killed the French fan where more representative of the the Serbs in general than of the thuggish us/them loser mentality that the luminaries themselves exhibit.

    Nice try Tony M., but you're indeed a delusional Serb regardless of the name you're using here. As usual you're repeating the same ols Serbian myths and propaganda as if Serbia didn't have a Nazi puppet State (Google: Milan Nedic) that slaughtered Jews and declared Serbia "Judenfrei" as early as 1942 (you lying hypocrite !) And last time I checked kiddo, it wasn't a Serb who founded and led the Partisans against the Nazis, but Croatian Josip Broz Tito, ok ?

    Morever, Serbs like you are in no postition to claim being "on the right side" when it was your terrorist organization "The Black Hand" that started WW1 by killing Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 to get your hands on Bosnia. It was also your Serbian king Alexander I who abolished the Yugoslav constitution in a coup d'etat in 1929 to impose his royal dictatorship ten years before WW2. And you're supposed to be "on the right side" when you did nothing but use your refugees in Croatia and Bosnia to create a "Greater Serbia" that killed millions for absolutely nothing from WW1to the 1990's ? Yeah right !

    Sorry junior, but you're a typical Serbian troll and it's no surprise that you have to resort to lies and grandiosity to hide your guilty conscience. Thank God the Serbian police is no longer made up of people like you !

    Look do not blame all of Serbia for something a few sick people did. I am French and I hate when things like these happen but you should only blame the people who did it, not their country, every country has sick @#$%s. Im glad the Serbian police caught some of them i hope they live in prison for the rest of their life's.

    Well, first of all, If you knew anything about Serbia and serbian names Tony is not christian ortodox or Serbian name. So you are totally off with that. Serbs did save my grandfather who was a pilot from Nazi Germans.They did save Jewish people and yes they did save Madlen Olbraight she was safe in Belgrade for two years as a little girl. How she returned the favor we saw it in 90-s. Where were croatians,kosovo albanians and bosnian muslim at that time? They were slauthering innocent Serbs together with their master Nazi germans. Don't talk about something that you don't have any clue about it. You are just ignorant. Take some history books son and read it. Next, I am sorry for any innocent victim killed in ex yougoslavia they don' t deserve it. Doesn't matter which side. And the Serbs are not supporting Milosevic same as Cubans are not supporting Castro onli minority of radical people as everywhere in the world is doing that. Don't judge book by the cover. Serbs are just tired of being accussed for something that old communist regime did. And next time you go to Niagara Falls you "nasty" Milot go and see the statue of great Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla and say thank you for giving me electricity mr Tesla Thank you. Serbs are awesome people, courageous, beautiful, extremely inteligent and proud. God bless them all.

    Beautiful people, but a little on the babaric side. Smart, and intelligent I'm not so sure. Don't compare this Slavic people with a culture like France that has produced poets, philosophers, artists, musciains, fashion, cosmetics and perfume, cuisine,etc.. not to mention homegrown doctors (not imported from India or Asian countries) that make advancements in medecines all of the time-first face tranplant , the first treatments for AIDS patients ( Pasteur Institute). Every culture makes their contribution to the world.

    Tony M. - obviously you have Serbian blood in your veins.

    I must admit that the Serbs are good in sports and they women are sexy but in general Serbians are nasty. Didn't they kill 8,000 men and boys in Srebenica? Didn't they start wars in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo? Didn't they kill hundreds of thousands of people. Instead of just letting all these countries be independent as they wanted, the Serbs claimed Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. What did they get in the end? Nothing!

    And after all these wars, still Serbian people supported Milosevic, Karadjic and Mladic. Serbian government upperhanded Karadjic for political reasons but within the Serbian people, he is still a hero.
    So, Tony - spare me the rest of history and just keep it to "Serbs are good in sports and their women are hot". Don't go any further than this.

    Great country. Serbia is awesome. Country that was always on right side. They fought turks invaders, habsburg monarchy, they fought against nazi germans, they saved our american pilots. Country that gave us Nikola Tesla and as a sport nation they are unbelivable. Tennis Djokovic,Ivanovic,Jankovic,Tipsarevic,Troicki. National soccer team qualified for WC in South Africa,second in Europe in basketball, world champions in waterpolo, top 5 team in world in handball, second in world in voleyball, world champions in swimming Cavic and Higl and the list goes on and on. And we are talking about country of only 6-7 million people HELLOOOOOO, they are more succesfull in sport than countries like France, England, Russia,Greece,Sweden,Norway,Canada,Argentina and so many others just few to name it. And they all did it after being under sanctions,being bombed by nato and fighting 3 wars in the last 20 years. INCREDIBLE COUNTRY of Serbia. Beautiful, very inteligent people,democratic with a long tradition,kingdom and very beautiful women. We love you Serbia and proud serbian people. TONY NY

    Well done Serbia. This is really something that should embarrass Serbians and all soccer fans. I cannot beleive that there are so many bad things that happen at soccer games worldwide. In the US there is never a beating or a killing or flares thrown onto the field or pee thrown on players or houligans beatiing the crap out of people. There are a lot of things wrong here, but goig to a sporting event and fearing for one's life is NOT one of them. What a joke, and everyone wonders why soccer is not more popular here. Joke. I feel so bad for this kid's family and I hope once these guys are caught they receive a large dose of "prison love".
