Cross-examination in Chanelle Henning case continues

The cross-examination of one of two men accused of plotting the murder of Chanelle Henning is expected to continue in the High Court in Pretoria on Friday.

 

During cross examination on Thursday, prosecutor Gerrie Nel told former Nigerian Olympic athlete Ambrose Monye his version of events was "laughable".

 

Throughout the proceedings, Nel pointed out inconsistencies in Monye's testimony about his involvement in Henning's murder and the days leading up to it.

 

Henning, 26, died in a drive-by shooting in Faerie Glen on November 8, 2011 shortly after dropping off her child at a creche.

 

The two accused, Andre Gouws and Monye, have pleaded not guilty to five charges relating to an alleged conspiracy to murder Henning.

 

The State alleges 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.

 

Monye had spent Wednesday and Thursday testifying.
