The maternal grandmother of Jayden-Lee Meek has defended her daughter Tiffany, whom she claims is not guilty of murder.
Debbie Dunn has accused police and activists of trying to “discredit” her daughter by keeping them away from the courtroom.
Tiffany appeared in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 14 July, on charges of murder, defeating the ends of justice, and crimen injuria.
Exactly two months earlier, Jayden-Lee was found dead outside his apartment complex after reportedly going missing hours earlier. He suffered a blunt force head injury and was reportedly severely beaten.
JAYDEN-LEE MEEK’S GRANDMOTHER DEFENDS ‘MURDER MOM’
Speaking in a TikTok video accompanied by her son, Debbie Dunn claimed that her daughter, Tiffany, was not guilty of the murder of Jayden-Lee Meek.
In the clip, the grandmother claims she was “deeply disappointed” in the police investigation as well as the prosecution of her daughter “over a crime she did not commit”.
Dunn claimed that Tiffany’s family, friends, and attorney were present at court, but they were unable to access the courtroom where she appeared.

She said: “It is so clear that the police, prosecutors, and activists are working together to ensure that Tiffany was not represented in court on her first appearance and that her loved ones were not inside to give her love and support”.
Dunn added: “We hope that she will be given a fair bail hearing and trial. We have lost faith and hope in the criminal system.”
Tiffany has faced backlash for spending the night at her mom’s house, and not her own, on the night Jayden-Lee Meek went missing.
@forever11_jayden we were there, yet the hearing was hush hush and they made sure we were not present.. all this just to further discredit her.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR SAYS OTHERWISE
Meanwhile, a private investigator offered insight into what he believed happened to Jayden-Lee Meek.
Speaking anonymously to eNCA, the investigator stated that the body was warm and fresh, indicating that he had been killed shortly before his discovery. The body was covered with bruises and abrasions.
Forensic investigation in the apartment Jayden-Lee shared with his mother, Tiffany, revealed that blood stains had been scrubbed clean with detergent.
Blood was discovered on Jayden-Lee’s school clothes, underwear, and his schoolbooks.
The investigator claims that there was an attempt to conceal evidence.
According to a charge sheet, Jayden-Lee Meek’s mother discouraged police from searching inside her apartment.
