Assuming you are running monit from init, it might work to do an

init q

to force init to rescan what it's running - then try killing it. Just a 
guess really.

Hmm, actually, I seem to recall hitting this once before, and I think 
what it required was to comment out monit from the /etc/inittab, then I 
was able to kill it. I think. It was a while back.
