  • Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were living off-grid with their newborn daughter Victoria when they became the focus of a missing persons inquiry.
  • The couple was arrested in Brighton after being on the run from police, who had found a placenta in their burnt-out car.
  • During their arrest, Gordon dismissed concerns about their missing baby, asking 'What's the big deal?' while Marten refused to answer questions.
  • Baby Victoria's body was found in a Lidl supermarket bag covered in rubbish in a disused shed.
  • The couple denies 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.
