Constance Marten and Mark Gordon are set to stand trial in January 2024 over the alleged manslaughter of a baby girl whose remains were found in a shed in Brighton. The discovery was made following a 53-day missing persons investigation, and the infant’s body was found in a plastic bag under nappies.
The couple appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday, where they faced charges of concealing a child’s birth and perverting the course of justice. They did not enter pleas and were remanded in custody.
