Constance Marten and Mark Gordon Deny Manslaughter in Baby Daughter's Death Trial

The couple, on trial for the death of their newborn while evading authorities, claim they did everything out of love for their child.

Constance Marten and Mark Gordon are on trial for the manslaughter of their newborn daughter, Victoria, who died while the couple was on the run from police and social services.
Marten testified that she feels responsible for Victoria's death, possibly due to accidentally falling asleep on her, but insists they showed nothing but love to their daughter.
The couple went into hiding after their car caught fire, living off-grid and disguising themselves to avoid detection, while carrying Victoria's body in a Lidl bag.
Their lifestyle became unsustainable, with Marten describing their dire conditions, including scavenging for food and Gordon becoming extremely thin.
The defendants, who have no fixed address, deny charges of manslaughter by gross negligence, perverting the course of justice, concealing the birth of a child, child cruelty, and causing or allowing the death of a child.
