JOHANNESBURG - Police have arrested six suspects in connection with the murder of Kaizer Chiefs soccer player, Luke Fleurs.

The footballer was shot during a hijacking in Honeydew last week and later died in hospital.

Police spokesperson, Mavela Masondo, said that a multi-disciplinary team had been working around the clock to catch the suspects.
