Overview

• Reports from unnamed prison sources say Marten has largely stayed in her cell, refused to mix with others and turned down jobs in the library, kitchen and cleaning.
• She is said to be housed on Unit 4 with high-profile inmates including Lucy Letby and Beinash Batool and has asked to be moved away from them, according to the same accounts.
• Officials have reportedly opened an ACCT record and put close supervision in place, while Bronzefield’s operator, Sodexo, declined to comment on individual prisoners.
• Marten and partner Mark Gordon were convicted at a retrial of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of their newborn, Victoria, and each received 14-year sentences at the Old Bailey.
• Coverage reiterates that the couple went on the run in winter 2023 before Victoria’s body was found in a Lidl bag in a Brighton shed, and notes Marten intends to appeal her conviction as reported.
