“Now we can rest. Orderick can rest.” These are the words of slain Orderick Lucas’s mother Davidene Lucas outside the Western Cape High Court.
These were the words of slain Orderick Lucas’s mother, Davidene Lucas, outside the Western Cape High Court on Tuesday after Melvin Volkwyn was sentenced to 20 years direct imprisonment by Acting Judge Nolundi Nyati.
Nyati also said Volkwyn hadn’t been truly remorseful for his deeds despite him crying in court on a number of occasions. Lucas confirmed that she, along with her mother and father and partner Kounkou Dziendelet, are currently before the Family Court in Blue Downs relating to custody matters of her other children.
Nyati said Orderick had “died a slow death” before his eventual demise when he had gone missing on March 25, 2019. “Evidence shows that Orderick suffered a slow death before his actual death caused by the accused. He had inflicted pain by extracting his teeth and injured his gum without asking his mother for at least medical assistance to avoid pain,” said Nyati.
