Believed to be guilty (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suspected

'believed to be guilty' is the definition.
('suspect' can be a synonym of 'believe to be guilty')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for suspected that I've seen before include "Fancied" , "Believed likely or distrusted" , "Felt" , "Believed (someone) guilty" , "Believed to be guilty but without proof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
