Nine people have been arrested in France following an investigation into the murder of a far-right nationalist student by suspected militants from the far-left.
Those detained include a parliamentary assistant for a deputy from the radical left France Unbowed (LFI) party.
Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old maths student, died in hospital on Saturday - two days after being beaten and kicked about the head by a gang of masked young men in Lyon.
It happened after a small demonstration by far-right feminists - who Deranque was supposed to be helping protect - at the city's Institute of Political Studies (IEP), commonly known as Sciences-Po.
The arrests confirm what has widely been reported: that those suspected of the murder are far-left militants linked to a banned group called La Jeune Garde (Young Guard).

The BBC article lists no names nor shows photos of the perps.
My guess is there will be little in the way of meaningful punishment for the killers and the LFI party will not be blamed at all....as opposed to how Reform would be labeled in the UK.
They will serve no jail time in France.
