By the time baby Victoria died, she and her parents had been reduced to living in a tent in the middle of winter on the South Downs with insufficient clothing and basic supplies.
Constance Marten and Mark Gordon claimed they had no choice but to make their daughter live like this. In the end, she died. But that was not through a lack of money. They could have accessed large sums from Marten’s trust fund to provide whatever their daughter needed. Indeed, before they spent a single night in that tent, they spent thousands on taxis to take them around the country, and on hotels and holiday lets to live in.
