MAVERICK CITIZEN: State and defence wrap up arguments in trial of Melvyn Volkwyn for the murder of two-year-old Orderick Lucas

While the cause of death was inconclusive, medical reports indicated the child had ulcers on his penis, a rash on his buttocks and sores on his fractured arm.

Two-year-old Orderick Lucas was last seen alive on 25 March 2019 in Kleinvlei in Western Cape. He was declared missing three days later and his body was found on 2 April 2019 in a stormwater drain by children playing soccer in the area. He also told the court how he and the child’s mother had smoked Mandrax and tik every day and how she had blown fumes into the child’s face when he “irritated her”.

His claims were supported by witness Locrisia Goliath, who on Monday, 28 April 2021 testified that the child was last seen in the presence of his biological mother and not Volkwyn. “Considering all the evidence, it is highly improbable and not true that the accused gave the deceased back to Davedine. The only logical conclusion is that he did something to the deceased which caused him to die and hid the body of the deceased in a stormwater drain,” Julius argued.

“Doctors also noted that X-rays of the chest showed bronchopneumonia and the right upper arm was displaced and unstable. An investigation conducted by social services resulted in January 2019 that Orderick and his siblings were removed from the care of the biological parents and placed in the care of the grandmother, Cornelia Scheepers.
