Investigating officer Sergeant Nceba Diko was grilled by Meek’s lawyer, Noven Naidoo, over the number of days it took for the police to secure Jayden-Lee’s school bag as an exhibit at Swazi’s Place complex in Fleurhof.

At the start of the bail application, Naidoo wanted to establish whether the school bag had been tested for fingerprints or if there were any fingerprints lifted from the school bag.
