OrderickLucas: A family left utterly devastated WeekendArgus
Cape Town - “I told Davedine that she must stop with Mel. Mel is not a good friend to her.” This is how the father of missing 20-month-old Orderick Lucas summed up his feelings following the disappearance and possible death of his baby boy.
Dziendelet, a Congolese national, said he had been in a relationship with Lucas for more than 10 years and the couple also has 6-year-old twin boys. Schippers told Weekend Argus that social workers had removed the children from Lucas’s care because of her drug use.According to Lucas, Volkwyn had been asked to take her son to a safe place while she sorted out the cellphone issue and she had intended to meet him later and get Orderick back.
“I was running around like a mad thing. I even went to the people who said I stole the phone to see if they had my child. I did not steal the phone, and they did not have my child. I was screaming like a mad thing and begged Mel to tell me where my child was. He insisted that he gave Orderick to me earlier in the week, but that was a lie,” said Lucas.
According to Lucas, Orderick had a burn mark on his cheek, which she believed was caused by a “tik lollie”. Lucas vowed that she was off the drugs and has been clean for almost two weeks. According to Schippers, plans are under way to get Lucas into a rehab centre. Sunday, March 24, 2019 Lucas asks Volkwyn to keep Orderick safe while she sorts out an issue over an alleged stolen cellphone. She is attacked by an angry mob who accused her of stealing a cellphone. She sustains a gash to her head.
