JOHANNESBURG - The investigating officer assigned to slain 11-year-old Jayden-Lee Meek’s case has raised concerns about the child’s body being found shortly after his mother left their Fleurhof apartment.
Jayden-Lee’s naked body was discovered just a few metres away from the unit he and his mother shared in Swazi Complex.
This was a day after his mother, Tiffinay Nicole Meek, had reported him missing in May.

During her bail application, Meek insisted that she is being framed for her son’s murder.
In Monday’s proceedings, the investigating officer, Ncebo Diko, had revealed some of his findings that link Meek to her son’s death.
Meek was arrested two months after Jayden-Lee’s body was discovered by some residents in the Fleurhof apartment building.
The court heard that Meek had returned to her apartment alone in the early hours of the day and Jayden-Lee’s lifeless body was found by a staircase.
“Shortly afterwards, one of the residents went to the flat. The child was lying on the floor of the first floor just after the staircase, naked, only having underwear on. The security then rushed to the place that was mentioned to him.”
Diko is expected back on the stand on Tuesday for a cross examination.
