Tiffany Meek’s bail hearing is set to continue in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Court proceedings will enter day five as her legal counsel, Noven Naidoo, continues to cross-examine an investigating officer from the South African Police Services.
The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has opposed the bail application.
Meek, 31, from Fleurhof, is accused of killing her 11-year-old son Jayden-Lee Meek.
She also faces charges of crimen injuria, attempting to defeat or obstruct the course of justice, and defeating or obstructing the administration of justice.
Jayden-Lee was reported missing on May 13, 2025. His body was found the next day, a few metres from his home.
Tiffany was arrested at her mother’s home on July 11, 2025.
Attorney Naidoo started his cross-examination of the investigating officer on Wednesday.
Naidoo was not available for court on Thursday; thus, the matter was rolled over.
During his cross-examination, Naidoo asked the policeman about Jayden’s clothing, citing that the teacher, Tiffany, and the day shift security guard gave conflicting statements about what Jayden had been wearing the day he disappeared.
“My client will state that she helped him get dressed that morning, and he was wearing grey long pants, a white shirt, a tie, and black takkies on the day,” Naidoo submitted.
The police sergeant said he could not comment on what the child was wearing as those were given to the police by people who had seen Jayden-Lee on the day.
The court was also given copies of the complex’s occurrence book (OB) of May 13 and May 14.
The copies before the court showed that an entry of Jayden-Lee’s disappearance was only entered after 8 pm, by the night shift guard.
Naidoo directed the police sergeant’s attention to missing entries in the book. However, the police sergeant could offer no response to what is alleged to be a missing page from the book, as he did not have the physical book with him.
The State opposes bail.
