Jurors at the trial of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were shown CCTV footage today, claiming to depict the moment when the couple, accused of manslaughter in the death of their daughter Victoria, filled a water bottle with petrol. The trial, taking place at the Old Bailey in London, continues to shed light on the events leading up to the tragic incident.
Constance Marten, a 36-year-old wealthy aristocrat, and Mark Gordon, aged 49, stand accused of manslaughter in connection with the death of their daughter, Victoria. The prosecution alleges that the couple, in a desperate bid to avoid authorities, traversed England using taxis and resorted to living in a tent on the South Downs.
