almost 2yrs but later confessed of involved in the murder of the 26-year-old
Henning who was shot on November 8, 2011 after
she had dropped her son off. The victim and her estranged husband Nick Henning were
in a child custody battle. Mr. Henning offered Mr. Gouws 1,000,000Rands to have his wife killed
and Mr. Gouws offered Monye 50,000Rands to find killers who would do the job. Mr.
Henning was picked up by law enforcement agents in December. The killers, Gerhardus (Doepie) du Please and
Willem (Tattoo or Pike) Pieterse are already serving 18-year jail terms,
following their guilty pleas to the murder charge. The Nigerian Olympian said
he is ashamed of his actions. Words used to describe him by South African
investigators include “strong and dangerous” as well as the “kingpin of
Pretoria’s underworld”
