Smit is accused of murdering the teen after human remains were discovered in sewage pipes at his property.
Van Wyk was described as a respectful boy who loved soccer and did whatever task his parents sprung on him, but his life came to an end when he was hacked and killed with his body parts dumped in a drain in a small town in the Western Cape– all over stolen mangoes.
Smit allegedly hit Van Wyk with his car and took the young boy back to his own property.
