French police have detained a suspect in the hit-and-run death of a teenage boy during celebrations of France’s win over Morocco in the World Cup semi-finals, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
A man was detained on Tuesday near the southern city of Perpignan, prosecutors said.
The 14-year-old boy, Aymen, was killed on 15 December in the Paillade district, one of the poorer areas of the southern city of Montpellier.
