Constance Marten Reportedly Barred From Contacting Mark Gordon in Prison

Sources at HMP Bronzefield say she has been prevented from sending letters or making calls to her convicted partner

Overview

  • Marten, 38, and Gordon, 51, were convicted last month at the Old Bailey of gross negligence manslaughter and related offences over the death of their newborn daughter, Victoria.
  • The court scheduled a combined sentence for mid-September after they were also found guilty of concealing the birth, perverting the course of justice and child cruelty.
  • Prison records show Marten is held at HMP Bronzefield under observation while Gordon is imprisoned at HMP Belmarsh.
  • Unnamed prison staff and Bronzefield’s inmate-system logs indicate she is barred from sending letters or making calls to Gordon.
  • Sodexo, which manages Bronzefield, and prison authorities have declined to confirm whether a formal ban on communications is in place.
