Former Nigerian Olympic athlete, Ambrose Monye (pictured

murder of 26 year old Channelle Henning (pictured right).
Monye, who participated in the Souelle Olympic game in
1988, is accused of killing Henning as she
drove out after dropping her young son at the Morning Star Montessori
Preschool in Faere Glen, East Pretoria South Africa on the 8th of
November 2011. He and another accomplice, Andre Gouws, who was also
sentenced to life in prison, were contracted to kill the woman by her
estranged husband.


After denying their involvement in the shooting death for almost two
years, the men finally confessed to being involved in the gruesome
murder.

According
to Andre Gouws testimony in court this morning, Channelle and her
husband, Nick have been on a custody battle for their young son for a
while. Nick then decided the best way to have full custody of his son
was to permanently get rid of his wife. He then contacted Andre Gouws to
help carry out the murder with
a reward of a million rand if successfully done. Andre then contacted
Monye to help facilitate the killing with a promise to pay him
50,000rand. Continue…

Ambrose then contracted two men, Gerhardus (Doepie) du Please and Willem (Tattoo or Pike)
Pieterse who carried out the murder. The two men are already serving 18-year jail terms, following their guilty
pleas to the murder charge.


Described
by the investigative team as the kingpin of Pretoria’s underworld,
Ambrose has a history of being involved in murder cases. In 2011, he was
arrested and later released in South Africa for allegedly beating a
man to death. Ambrose runs a security firm in South Africa.
