The 24-year-old former junior international, who played for the country’s most popular club Kaizer Chiefs, was shot in the chest at a petrol station last Wednesday and the assailants drove off in his vehicle. Police said six suspects were arrested in Soweto in the early hours of this morning. Fleurs’ vehicle was recovered on Monday.“Police believe that the suspects are part of a syndicate that is responsible for car hijacking in Gauteng, and the search for more suspects is continuing,” Gauteng police commissioner Lieutenant General Tommy Mthombeni told IOL.co.za.Fleurs had been waiting to be served by a petrol attendant when he was confronted by two armed men who shot him in the chest.
