Constance Marten's dad 'alarmed' daughter's baby still missing

Constance Marten's dad has shared his relief that his daughter has been found but he is alarmed her baby remains missing.

Miss Marten and her boyfriend Mark Gordon were arrested in Brighton on Monday night (February 27), on suspicion of child neglect after several weeks avoiding the police. Miss Marten, 35, and Mr Gordon, 48, have been travelling around the UK by taxi since their car was found burning on the M61 in Bolton on January 5.

The couple travelled from Bolton to Liverpool, then to Harwich in Essex, then to east London and then to Newhaven in Sussex, where they were seen near the ferry port on January 8. A huge search is under way in Sussex for the couple’s two-month-old baby, who was born in early January and has had no medical attention since then, with his parents sleeping rough in freezing temperatures much of the time.
