Two people arrested following death of Deportivo La Coruna fan

Two people have been arrested by Spanish police following the death of a Deportivo La Coruna supporter, who passed away after a street fight occurred prior to a La Liga match against Atletico Madrid.

Francisco Javier Romero Taboada, 43, died in hospital as a result of injuries that he suffered during the brawl two weeks ago.

Spanish police wrote on their official Twitter page: "32 ultras arrested in Madrid, Avila and Toledo for the violent incidents at Manzanares, among them, 2 alleged perpetrators of the homicide."

Mr Taboada, who fell into the Manzanares river close to the Vicente Calderon during the fight, suffered cardiac arrest, hypothermia and head injuries.
