The partner of wealthy aristocrat Constance Marten has denied responsibility for the death of their baby, telling jurors: “There are no laws in regard to how you should raise your children.”

Mark Gordon, 51, said he and Marten, 38, had been “dehumanised” and “vilified” during their Old Bailey retrial for the manslaughter of their daughter Victoria.
