Aristocrat Constance Marten, 36, and her partner Mark Gordon, 49, who stand accused of causing the death of their newborn baby, Victoria, allegedly trashed a holiday cottage during their time on the run, a court heard today. The couple is accused of causing Victoria’s death by living in a tent “off the grid” during the winter to avoid social services taking custody of the child.

The tragic case took a dark turn when the baby’s placenta was discovered in a burnt-out car on a Manchester motorway, leading to a large-scale police search as the couple crisscrossed the UK while evading capture.
