Jayden-Lee’s Grandmother Speaks Out: “Tiffany Is Being Framed”

Debbie Dunn slams justice system in viral TikTok as public debate around tragic child murder deepens.

The tragic murder of 11-year-old Jayden-Lee Meek has taken a new turn, as his grandmother, Debbie Dunn, broke her silence this week in a viral TikTok video defending her daughter Tiffany, who now stands accused of the boy’s brutal killing.

In the heartfelt video, posted Monday evening after Tiffany’s court appearance, Dunn claimed that her daughter is being wrongly accused and slammed both the police and prosecutors for what she described as an unfair and secretive court process.

“My Daughter Did Not Kill Jayden”

Tiffany Meek, 31, appeared at the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court on July 14 facing serious charges: murder, crimen injuria, and two counts related to obstructing justice. Jayden-Lee disappeared on May 13 after being dropped off at the Fleurhof apartment complex. His body was discovered the following morning on the staircase near his home. The court heard that he had been struck with a blunt object and bled inside the apartment.

But in her viral TikTok, Jayden-Lee’s grandmother made a shocking claim: Tiffany is being framed.

“It is with great sadness that I have to make this video,” said Dunn, reading from a prepared script. “I want to express how deeply disappointed we are at the way my grandson’s case is being investigated and how my daughter is being prosecuted for a crime she did not commit.”

The video had garnered over 34,000 views and hundreds of shares within 24 hours.

Courtroom Confusion and Accusations of Exclusion

According to Dunn, family members, friends, and Tiffany’s attorney were all present at the court early on Monday morning, but were allegedly denied access to the courtroom. “We were instructed to wait outside until a list was made and we’d be called,” she said.

She further alleged that court officials and even activists present were “working together to make sure Tiffany was alone during her first court appearance,” adding that their attorney was treated dismissively and not allowed to enter.

“This process was meant to discredit her even further,” Dunn insisted.

A System Under Scrutiny

The grandmother’s emotional public message echoes growing public frustration over South Africa’s justice system—especially in cases involving children and women. Several users on social media have expressed mixed reactions, with some demanding justice for Jayden, while others questioned the speed and secrecy of the case against Tiffany.

Legal experts have also weighed in online, pointing out that while courts do have the right to limit access during initial bail and schedule hearings, transparency should never be sacrificed, particularly in high-profile cases.

Awaiting Bail Hearing

Tiffany Meek is expected back in court on Friday, July 18, when her formal legal representation is expected to be confirmed and bail information presented.

In the meantime, emotions are running high, both online and within the Fleurhof community. As the investigation continues and the court process unfolds, many are asking whether the truth is being revealed or obscured in a case that has already left a family, and a nation, reeling with grief.

The court’s next decision on bail will be crucial, not only for Tiffany Meek’s legal future but for public perception of whether South Africa’s justice system is doing enough to ensure both justice and fairness.

One thing is clear: this is no longer just a legal case. It’s now a deeply emotional public debate, where every voice—from law enforcement to loved ones, is being heard.
