A jury consisting of five men and seven women has been sworn in for the trial of a couple facing manslaughter charges over the death of their baby daughter, whose remains were discovered in Brighton. The trial proceedings commenced at the Central Criminal Court, famously known as the Old Bailey, in London on Thursday, January 25, 2024.
Originally, the jury members were selected a week ago and were slated to be sworn in at the Old Bailey on the preceding day. However, Judge Mark Lucraft, the Recorder of London, informed them that technical issues had unavoidably delayed the case.
