Jayden-Lee Meek murder: Mother Tiffany Meek to plead guilty to some charges

Tiffany Nicole Meek, accused of murdering her son Jayden-Lee, is set to plead guilty to some charges. The case against Tiffany Nicole Meek, a Gauteng mother accused of killing her 11-year-old son Jayden-Lee Meek, has been postponed for plea proceedings in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, sitting in Palm Ridge. National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Magaboke Mohlatlole said the defence informed the State that the accused intends to plead guilty to some of the charges.

Meek, 32, from Fleurhof, is accused of murdering her son, 11-year-old Jayden-Lee Meek. Jayden-Lee was reported missing on May 13, 2025, after he failed to return home after school. His lifeless, half-naked body was found on May 14, 2025, near the staircase in the Swazi Place complex just metres from the front door of his home.

Meek was arrested on July 11, 2025, and has been in custody since following a failed bail application. During her bail application, Meek pleaded with the court to grant her bail as she is the sole breadwinner of her family. She said she could afford R5,000 bail.
