Ambrose Monye, a former Nigeria’s Olympic athlete who is presently being held in Pretoria for murdering a young Pretoria woman, Miss Chanelle Henning, late last year, has been remanded in Pretoria prison by a magistrate court in the region.
appeared before a Pretoria magistrate court presided over by Justice Maryke de la Rey, last Thursday, was asked to be remanded, pending the time that the hearing will properly commence in November.
The presiding magistrate told the accused person on Thursday that he should ensure he makes concrete arrangements for his legal representation before the next hearing of the case, which will take place at a Pretoria High Court.
Monye’s former lawyer, Mr. Peter Jay, was not present in the court to receive the notice of the case, taking place at a Pretoria High Court in November as a result of the inability of the accused person to pay the lawyer for his representation.
However, the accused person was handed the notice by the magistrate court before being taken to the prison.
In his earlier response, the former Nigeria’s Olympic athlete begged the magistrate court to grant him time to fix his financial problems and get his former lawyers back for his representation.
Monye faces charges of murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm.
