'Murder charge' over fan's death

An Italian policeman who shot dead a Lazio fan last weekend is set to be charged with murder, his lawyer says.

Police had said Sunday's shooting of Gabriele Sandri, 26, by the officer was a "tragic accident".

There had been expectations the police officer might face a manslaughter case but the policeman's lawyer said a murder charge was being prepared.

Mr Sandri's death sparked widespread fan riots and games in Italy's lower divisions were suspended for one week.
