Footage released after Tai and Naiyahmi Yasharahyalah were found guilty of causing or allowing Abiyah Yasharahyalah’s death showed the couple arguing with police inside their Handsworth property, while their son’s body lay buried in the back garden.
Another bodycam image of the pair being defiant and aggressive towards police was taken at their caravan in Somerset, almost three years after Abiyah’s death and makeshift funeral, and was also issued by West Midlands Police following guilty verdicts at Coventry Crown Court.
The couple, who left their son’s remains behind when they were evicted from a house in Clarence Road, Handsworth, Birmingham, in March 2022, were found guilty of further charges of perverting the course of justice and child cruelty.
