In a harrowing court case, details have emerged surrounding the tragic death of baby Victoria, the newborn daughter of aristocrat Constance Marten, allegedly at the hands of Marten and her partner, Mark Gordon. The court heard that the baby “did not stand a chance” due to the toxic relationship between Marten and Gordon.
The couple is accused of killing baby Victoria after taking her on the run in January last year to prevent her from being taken away by social services. The baby’s placenta was discovered in an exploded car on a Manchester motorway, sparking a widespread police search. Marten and Gordon spent nearly two months evading authorities, camping in a blue tent in the South Downs near Brighton.
