Meek mom is back in court

THE mother of Jayden-Lee Meek is expected back in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Friday. 

Tiffany Meek, 31, faces charges of murder, crimen injuria, attempting to defeat or obstruct the course of justice, and defeating or obstructing the administration of justice. 

Meek is expected to bring her private attorney on record for the court. Bail information is also expected to be handed over to the court should she wish to apply for a formal bail application. 

The court papers have revealed that 11-year-old Jayden-Lee Meek, who allegedly died in the hands of his mother, died after being hit with an "unknown" hard object to the head.

According to a charge sheet presented to the court, the State is set to prove that Meek struck her son with a blunt object. The object is yet to be identified. 

At this stage, the motive for Jayden-Lee’s murder is unknown.

Meek was arrested on Friday, July 11, and made her first court appearance on Monday, July 14. 

Earlier this week, Meek’s mother, Debbie Dunn, took to TikTok to defend her daughter, who she claimed was being framed. 

In the video, Dunn has her wording scripted as she starts reading, she said: “It is with great sadness that I have to make this video. I want to express how deeply disappointed we are at the way my grandson’s case is being investigated and how my daughter is being prosecuted for a crime she did not commit…”
