Federico Aramburu: Suspect in ex-rugby star's murder held at Ukraine border

The main suspect in the murder of an Argentine former rugby player in Paris has been arrested on the Hungarian border with Ukraine, authorities said.

Loïk Le Priol, a former soldier who reportedly has links to the far right, told Hungarian police in Záhony he was going to Ukraine to fight.

Later that night, Mr Aramburu, 42, and a companion were reportedly involved in an argument in a bar in the Saint-Germain quarter of Paris in the early hours of the morning, AFP news agency reports.

On their way home to their hotel, the two were accosted by three people in a car, AFP adds. One of them fired several shots at Aramburu, killing him.
