The sister of a vegan mother whose obsession with 'clean eating' led to the death of her severely malnourished toddler has revealed her lasting regret.
When Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah, 43, first met her husband Tai, 42, he was 'really polite' and 'normal', but their relationship would soon spiral out of control with the pair eventually ostracising themselves from society to start their own 'kingdom'.
The couple, who were said to be members of an 'obscure religious movement' known as the Royal Ahayah's Witness, lived in squalor.
They survived on only fruit, nuts, and seeds and followed their own religion and laws.
In the process, they wilfully neglected their three-year-old toddler, Abiyah, by prioritising their 'distorted system beliefs' over his welfare, and failing to provide him with enough food and necessary medical attention.
