Remains found by police searching for Constance Marten's baby were discovered wrapped in a plastic bag under some nappies in an allotment shed, a court heard.
The aristocrat and her partner, Mark Gordon, were remanded into custody by magistrates on Friday charged with the manslaughter of a baby, after a major two-day search operation led to the infant’s discovery on Wednesday. The couple appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Friday accused of three charges - including concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.
Marten, 35, and Gordon, 48, spoke only to confirm their names, dates of birth and that they were of no fixed abode during a short hearing in front of a packed courtroom. Gordon wore a grey jumper over his head throughout the hearing.
