A three-year-old boy secretly buried in his family’s garden had become ‘invisible and lost’ to child services, a review has found.

Abiyah Yasharahyalah’s body was discovered in December 2022 in a 3ft deep grave after his parents Tai and Naiyahmi were evicted.

The couple, aged 42 and 43, fed Abiyah a vegan diet without any supplements after forming what they viewed as their own religion, following a legal framework Tai had invented.
