The beauty queen daughter of a conspiracy theorist nurse died of cancer after being indoctrinated by her mother into refusing conventional medical treatment, her siblings claim.

Paloma Shemirani died in July last year aged 23 after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of blood cancer.

Miss Brighton finalist Paloma was the daughter of Kate Shemirani, a notorious anti-vaxxer who was struck off the UK's nursing register in 2021 for her extreme anti-medicine views, including discouraging the use of masks and vaccines.

Her brothers, Gabriel and Sebastian, claim that their sister ultimately ended up refusing conventional chemotherapy because of pressure from her mother, with whom she had been trying to build a better relationship.

They also allege that their mother sought to isolate her daughter from friends, her boyfriend and other members of her family, even as the cancer's progression became distressingly clear.
