The case against six men accused of murdering Kaizer Chiefs defender Luke Fleurs has now been moved to the High Court in Johannesburg. The suspects, who were arrested shortly after Fleurs’ tragic death in April last year, are set to appear on the 7th of March for a pretrial hearing.
Fleurs was shot and killed during a hijacking at a petrol station in Florida, west of Johannesburg, as he was waiting for service. His murder shocked both the soccer community and South African citizens alike, sparking widespread calls for justice.

They maintain that those charged in connection with the murder may be innocent, asserting that the incarcerated men have no involvement in the killing of the Kaizer Chiefs player.
This development brings hope for a fair legal process, with both the defense and prosecution preparing for this high-profile case’s next steps.
