A wealthy aristocrat posed as freelance journalist called Caroline as she fled the authorities with her partner and their secret newborn baby, a retrial heard.

Jurors at the Old Bailey were told Constance Marten, 37, used the ruse as she checked in to a service station hotel at 4am while on the run with Mark Gordon, 50, and their daughter Victoria in January 2023.
