Chanelle was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in November 2011, after she dropped their son off at his pre-school.


The Hennings were embroiled in a divorce and custody battle at the time.


Nico Henning is currently out on bail of R 10 million. 


He was arrested in 2014 for his wife's murder, after the two so-called middlemen André Gouws and Ambrose Monye were both sentenced to life imprisonment.


The gunmen were each sentenced to 18 years behind bars.
