A couple whose newborn baby died after they went off-grid camping in freezing winter weather to evade authorities maintain she lived just 16 days and was kept “warm and dry” and “well nourished”, a court has heard.
Constance Marten, 36, and Mark Gordon, 49, are accused of keeping baby Victoria in a Lidl “bag for life” and dumping her body “like it was refuse” in a disused shed inside the shopping bag covered in rubbish.
