The child protection detective, Refilwe Sekhobe, ended her testimony after telling the court about the interview with Co-Acuzat, Stevano Van Rhyn.

Sekhobe told the court that he had taken Van Rhyn’s statement at the Police Section in the Gulf of Saldanha, on February 29.

Sekhobe said that Van Rhyn admitted that he was at Kelly Smith’s Shack on February 19 and witnessed the child with Lombard Lombard, a former accused who has since became a witness to the state.

Van Rhyn’s lawyer challenged this, saying that Van Rhyn was never inside the box and insists he didn’t see Joshlin that day.

The process continues.
