Protesters clashed with police in anti-fascist demonstrations across Greece on Wednesday, sparked by the murder of a leftist musician by a suspected neo-Nazi, local media reported.

Police fired tear gas at groups of protesters in Athens, the northern city of Thessaloniki and in Patras in the west of the country, where the city centre remained sealed off.
