The High Court in Pretoria has sentenced both Ambrose Monye and Andre Gouws to life in prison for killing Chanelle Henning.
After months of denial, the two confessed to being involved in the murder of the 26-year-old mother after they were convicted for
the crime several weeks ago.
Monye, a former Nigerian Olympic athletic, told the court on Tuesday that he was ashamed of his actions.
Henning was shot while driving her car in Faerie Glen, in the east of Pretoria, on the 8th of November 2011 shortly after dropping her child off at creche.
At the time, she was involved in a custody battle with her estranged husband, Nico Henning.
He was arrested in December shortly after his friend Gouws told the court that Henning had offered him R1 million to have his wife
killed.
Gouws said he in turn offered Monye R50,000 to find killers for the job.
The killers, Gerhardus du Plessis and Willem Pieterse, are serving 18-year jail sentences after pleading guilty to the murder.
Nico Henning was granted bail of R10 million in December.
