The Old Bailey has heard statements from Mark Gordon asserting that Constance Marten, his partner, would “never do anything to harm a child”. This testimony comes amidst the trial of the couple, who are accused of manslaughter by gross negligence in the death of their baby daughter, Victoria.
Gordon, in a police interview on 2nd March, described Marten as an “excellent mother” who desired to have the child. The couple denies all charges against them.
