Clive and Iuliia Gurzhii were all over the news for 3 days in August, after idiotically going to give birth on a beach a long way from home.
The birth was unwitnessed and very odd circumstances.
I googled them and all I could find was a gofundme (never saw that one coming!!) - it raised GBP128 out of an ambitious target of GBP15.000.

Do you think they are still out there?

Nah, I can't see Clive being any good at people smuggling - as is evidenced by them being caught...

Clive being in with the sort of people who are involved in people smuggling/drugs, on the fringes, and thus being able to borrow/acquire a boat - yes. And then once living illegally on a boat in the Caribbean... even more so.

He's too much of a loud mouthed idiot though to be any sort of big cheese/organiser... he's someone who some fool has trusted to do the donkey work, way way way down the bottom of the chain. Manual labour.

I think the whole 'baby on a beach' was them avoiding UK SS... as they've got a ton of past history with them and concerns for their child/children.

And then the botched attempt at people smuggling was a desperate act to raise money that they'd badly need - maintaining a boat, even there, and even where you cut all corners, don't pay mooring fees etc... is spendy AF and so is keeping it stocked with food/water etc.

I hadn't realised/had forgotten that the older child is also Iulias - that is a long gap between kids... are there other kids that have been removed? I guess we won't know.

Makes more sense she'd risk a freebirth having given birth before though. It also makes it a bit less likely that she's naive and clueless - she could still be being co-erced by Clive... but I don't really buy that. I think she's in it up to her neck as much as he is.

That's a point about the age gap. Thinking back to the Constance Marten/Mark Gordon case, had they been located before the baby died (or successfully fled the country), there would never have been any press coverage of the family court history with their older children. All that only came out because of the criminal trial.

So with this pair, there may be so much that just can't be published and probably never will be.

Did they actually confirm that this was actually their baby and not a trafficked baby?

Not as far as we are aware.

However baby which wasn't born in hospital and they tried to register outside normal challenges (so could have been trafficked) AND THEN getting involved in definite trafficking is a big coincidence.

Would you know how to get in touch with a trafficker? They did.

LemondrizzleShark · 21/08/2025 18:11

Relatives who were babysitting were arrested on fabricated charges, forcing Clive to rush back, where he was also hunted down and arrested while trying to stop Elizabeth’s removal.

Think I missed an update somewhere - so Iuilia’s teenage sister was also arrested? And Clive came back to the UK and was arrested, then went back to the Caymans to do his people smuggling job?

WiddlinDiddlin · 21/08/2025 19:01

I think the last we had from the UK press was that SS were concerned about Elizabeths whereabouts/who was caring for her and when they'd gone looking, she'd done a runner/been sneaked away...

So Clive had had to return... and the police/SS wanted to speak to him, understandably.

nothingcomestonothing · 21/08/2025 20:01

You don't get arrested for looking after a family member, or for leaving your child with a relative. It's all freeman paranoia

Dixiechickonhols · 21/08/2025 21:11

I think there was a kerfuffle when social workers turned up to check Elisabeth and she ran away. It’s possible Aunt was arrested if there was breach of peace etc. Clive came back to England at that point presumably to try and ensure Elizabeth could stay with relatives and not go into foster care. Mum couldn’t come back as baby had no passport so she stayed behind. Presumably Clive was happy with what arrangements were agreed with ss as he left Elizabeth again and embarked on the people smuggling run he was arrested for.

SixSevenShutUp · 09/04/2026 10:18

Thank you, that is interesting. I don't understand how their sentences were reduced, though. As if the UK courts would not punish that behaviour seriously.

Dixiechickonhols · 09/04/2026 10:25

Thanks for update. That first anonymous comment on the link is Clive.
It sounds like baby was sent to uk as Clive and Julia in prison in Cayman.

Such nonsense in the comments, like the child being taken into care at gunpoint at Chester Zoo.

There is a stateless child in the U.K. with relatives while its parents are in jail in the Caribbean? Good grief.

The parents have been released apparently. Who knows where the youngest child is.

Clive was British, wife Yulia wasn’t.
Unsure if baby ever had DNA test.
When story initially broke they were complaining no passport for baby as born at sea in Caribbean and hadn’t gone to hospital for a week or two. They sailed on and seemed to be resisting DNA testing - perhaps due to freeman of land beliefs but also risk baby wasn’t biologically their baby and was smuggled/trafficked.
Then a year or two later they randomly dock in Cayman Islands with baby now a toddler and two smuggled Ethiopians. They were both imprisoned.
Tween female child they had abandoned in had social services involved, Clive flew back to claim she had been ‘kidnapped’ by SS before Cayman arrest.
Toddler - unsure if in orphanage in Cayman Islands or somehow brought to uk. On a human level the distress to the toddler must have been awful, Yulia was crunchy yoga type so I’d guess toddler was co sleeping and possibly still breastfeeding. Sending her to uk to relatives never met would have been traumatic plus all the lack of paperwork side. Maybe she did stay in orphanage in Cayman so parents could have contact whilst in prison.

stealtheatingtunnocks · 09/04/2026 16:04

This is awful. I remember the free birth plan ans wondering why on earth a woman who had had a baby would do that.

Dixiechickonhols · 09/04/2026 16:10

Thanks for facebook update. That’s Clive!!
It sounds like he’s back in UK but Yulia and toddler still in Cayman.
The private biological property comments make me think they have still refused DNA test so still no birth certificate or passport for toddler. It sounds like there is some sort of court process ongoing re toddler to try and resolve the mess.

Their story was they wanted a free birth but no one knows if true.
It may have been a ruse to pass off a trafficked baby as their own.
A DNA test would resolve but it sounds like the couple haven’t agreed to this either for freeman of land reasons or because they know the baby isn’t biologically the child of one or both of them.
Yulia hasn’t seen her tween now teen daughter for several years.

Dixiechickonhols · 09/04/2026 16:23

Just re read initial article and the baby Louisa was born April 23, so she’s 3.

HonoriaLucastaDelagardie · 09/04/2026 16:35

....these monsters demonic satanic bahl worshippers

Clive seems to have reached a whole new level of crazy.

When story initially broke they were complaining no passport for baby as born at sea in Caribbean and hadn’t gone to hospital for a week or two.

Reason for birth at sea and delay going to hospital probably being that they had illegals on board and had to offload them first.
