Jayden-Lee’s body was found in May 2025 at their Fleurhof home, a day after he was reported missing.
Authorities allege he was killed inside the house and that the scene was staged to mislead investigators.
It is further alleged he was struck with a blunt object, with blood found on his bed and school uniform.
Meek denies the allegations, maintaining her innocence as investigations continue.
