Police commander held over Serbian PM’s murder

THE SUSPECTED mastermind behind last year’s assassination of Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic has surrendered to local police.

Serbian security officials say former special police commander Milorad “Legija” Lukovic gave himself up on Sunday outside his house in a Belgrade suburb.

The former French foreign legionnaire, who authorities have linked to a Belgrade mafia group, had been on the run for a year.
