Believe to be guilty, but without proof (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suspect

(Other definitions for suspect that I've seen before include "Possible criminal - doubtful" , "One is believed to be guilty but without proof" , "Imagine to be true" , "Fishy" , "Believe (someone) guilty" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
