Convicted child killer Melvin Volkwyn was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment by the Western Cape High Court, for the murder of one-year-old Orderick Lucas, in May 2017.
Judge Nyati said that the accused had been untruthful. While the family of the deceased was looking for the deceased, the accused – at no stage – disclosed to the family where the deceased was.
At the time of Orderick’s death, he and his other siblings were placed into the foster care of their grandparents, after an investigation into the domestic circumstances of the Lucas household. Members of the Eerste River Neighbourhood watch, outside the court. Picture: Mwangi Githahu/Cape Argus
