[allAfrica]
The murder trial of Tiffany Nicole Meek, accused of killing her 11-year-old son Jayden Lee Meek, is set to resume at the Johannesburg High Court. The State is expected to call witnesses, including Jayden's school transport driver and teacher. Meek has pleaded not guilty, and during a previous hearing, Sergeant Rito Koveni testified that Meek had accused the transport driver of involvement in Jayden's disappearance.
Koveni also noted that Meek appeared unusually calm during the search, raising suspicions that she knew where her son was. The defense questioned why these suspicions were only formally recorded after Meek's arrest.
