Chanelle Henning's killers Andre Gouws and Ambrose
Monye have been sentenced to life in prison by the North Gauteng High Court.
Judge Johan Kruger said the murder of Henning was characterised by the cold-blooded disregard for the life a young woman and her child.
He said Henning did no harm to Monye and Gouws as she was leading her life and minding her own business while they were planning to kill her.
Kruger ruled that the confession made by the killers after being convicted could only be seen as an attempt at self-preservation.
He said the envisaged prosecution of Chanelle’s husband, Nico, and the role of the accused in that matter is irrelevant in this case.
Kruger said the prescribed sentence in this case did not create unease in him as he believed it was proportionate to the crime.

The 25-year old
mother was shot dead shortly after dropping her child at school in Faerie Glen
in November 2011.
Gouws and Monye told the North Gauteng High Court
that they regretted planning Henning’s murder and have since apologised.
But these submissions
only came after their conviction and could be seen, as prosecutor Gerrie Nel
describes it, as too little too late.
The prosecutor told the court that the information provided by Gouws led to the arrested of Henning’s husband Nico, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the hit.

IS IT BECAUSE OF MATERIAL THINGS?
