The occupants of that vehicle – aristocrat Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon, a convicted rapist – have this week been found guilty of the gross-negligence manslaughter of their newborn baby Victoria, after "a lengthy, emotionally charged ordeal" that included a nationwide manhunt and two chaotic trials.

Constance Marten, 38, and Mark Gordon, 51, were arrested after a seven-week police hunt in 2023 during which they spent time living in a tent.

Victoria's decomposed body was found in a shopping bag in a Brighton allotment shed in March 2023, two months after the couple went on the run.
