Couple charged with killing 3-year-old son, buried him in backyard, found guilty.

After a long and emotional trial, Tai and Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah have been found guilty by the Coventry Crown Court of causing or allowing the tragic death of their three-year-old son, Abiyah.

The young boy's body was discovered in December of 2022, buried in a shallow grave in the back garden of his family's Birmingham home. Upon further examination, it was revealed that Abiyah had suffered from severe malnutrition, rickets, anaemia, stunted growth, and dental disease. All of these conditions were a direct result of the neglect and mistreatment he had endured at the hands of his own parents.

The court heard how the Yasharahyalahs had rejected society's norms and chose to live in isolation, rejecting welfare benefits and conventional medicine. They had adopted an extreme vegan diet, which ultimately led to their own poor health and that of their young son.

Tragically, Abiyah's condition deteriorated to the point where he developed a respiratory illness, which ultimately took his life in early 2020. Instead of seeking medical help, his parents attempted to treat his illness with raw ginger and garlic. This neglect and refusal to seek medical assistance ultimately led to his untimely death.

But the neglect did not end there. In a shocking revelation, it was discovered that Tai and Naiyahmi had kept Abiyah's body in their bed for eight days before finally burying him in their backyard. They did not inform any family members or the authorities of his passing, and even went as far as to embalm him with frankincense and myrrh in a misguided attempt to bring him back to life through reincarnation.

During the trial, the Yasharahyalahs claimed that their actions were part of a spiritual ritual and that they feared calling for medical assistance would scare away Abiyah's spirit. However, the prosecution argued that their extreme beliefs and fear of investigation into their neglect were the real reasons behind their inaction.

After a lengthy deliberation, the jury found both parents guilty of child cruelty and perverting the course of justice. They had failed to provide Abiyah with proper nutrition and medical care, and their actions ultimately resulted in his death.

Speaking after the verdict, the Crown Prosecution Service emphasized the severity of the Yasharahyalahs' neglect and disregard for their son's well-being. They had a duty of care to their child, and their actions had led to his tragic and premature death. Justice has been served, and the couple will be sentenced next week.

The entire community was shocked and saddened by the events that unfolded during the trial. It is a reminder that as parents, we have a responsibility to care for and protect our children, no matter our beliefs or circumstances. Abiyah's death was preventable, and it is a tragedy that he will never get the chance to grow and thrive. May he rest in peace.
