LISBON: An England fan was stabbed to death in downtown Lisbon early yesterday and a Ukrainian man was arrested on suspicion of his murder, police said.
The 27-year-old English man was killed near Rossio Square at about 4am (11am, Malaysian time), a police spokesman said.
Detectives investigating the death believe it was not related to soccer.
“It seems the Ukrainian tried to steal the Englishman's wallet,” the spokesman said.
The Englishman was taken to Sao Jose Hospital where he was declared dead.
Neither the dead man nor the Ukrainian were identified by name. – AP
