Meek returned to the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court for the continuation of her bail application.

Duma was called back to the witness box as the State opposed bail for the mother accused of the murder of her 11-year-old son, Jayden-Lee Meek.

Duma was taken through Meek’s affidavit which was read to the court during her appearance on Friday.

He highlighted the fact that Meek did not disclose to the court that she had returned to her apartment in the Swazi Place complex at about 4am and left just after 5.30am on July 14, shortly before Jayden-Lee’s body was discovered by residents.

Meek also claimed photos were not taken of her son’s school bag on May 14, however, Duma stated the photo clearly showed it was.

Meek claimed that ‘sniffer dogs’ reacted to the security flat but police refused to search it citing they had no search warrant.
