Fleurs was most likely targeted by the hijackers for his sporty VW Golf 8 GTI when he pulled into the petrol station on the corner of Hendrik Potgieter and 14th Avenue around 8.30pm.sells for R669 300 and is the “bigger brother” of the VW Polo which is one of the vehicles most targeted by hijackers.The soccer player was gunned down by one of the four suspects who allegedly followed him in a white BMW 1 Series to the filling station.
“They went to the VW Golf and opened the rear doors. Two young boys in Fleurs’ car got out of the vehicle and ran towards the back of the petrol station to hide. They then pulled Fleurs out of his vehicle, and he ran towards the petrol station shop. “The two hijackers got into his car, and as they were about to drive off with Fleurs’ car, he ran towards it and fought those hijackers. He ran to his car, grabbed the door, and tried to remove the hijacker, who was in the driver’s seat,” the source revealed to the publication.
