Title France opens murder probe into killing of far-right activist Source France 24 - World News
Description French authorities have opened a murder probe into the death of a far-right activist last week, a public prosecutor said Monday, in a killing the government has blamed partly on the hard left. Quentin Deranque, 23, died after sustaining a severe brain injury when he was attacked Thursday by "at least six" people on the sidelines of a far-right protest against a left-wing politician speaking at a university in Lyon, the western city's prosecutor Thierry Dran said at a press conference Monday.
