A harrowing court hearing today revealed that Constance Marten and Mark Gordon’s newborn baby, Victoria, was found without clothes while the couple was on the run, despite freezing winter temperatures. The couple allegedly evaded authorities and travelled extensively across the country following the birth of their child.
Constance Marten, 36, and her partner, Mark Gordon, 49, are accused of gross negligence manslaughter regarding the tragic death of their infant daughter, Victoria, who was born on December 24, 2022. The Old Bailey heard that their actions were driven by a “selfish” desire to keep the baby, following the removal of their previous four children into care.
