The Pretoria High Court is expected to start hearing sentencing proceedings on Wednesday in the case of two men convicted of murdering Chanelle Henning.

On Monday, the court found former Nigerian Olympic athlete Ambrose Monye and businessman Andre Gouws guilty of the contract murder of Henning.

Henning, 26, was shot dead in Faerie Glen in November 2011, shortly after dropping off her child at creche.

Gouws and Monye had pleaded not guilty to five charges relating to an alleged conspiracy to commit the murder.

The State alleged that Monye and Gouws conspired with former policeman Gerhardus “Doepie” du Plessis and Willem “Pike” Pieterse (alias Tattoo).

Du Plessis and Pieterse are serving 18-year prison terms after confessing to their roles in the murder.

In his testimony, Gouws admitted that Chanelle's husband, Nico Henning, asked him to watch her to see if she used drugs.

The couple was going through a divorce and was fighting about custody of their child. - Sapa
