The baby of aristocrat Constance Marten and her partner, Mark Gordon, could have been dead for at least two weeks before it was tragically found yesterday. A local businessman has claimed that the couple were seen buying fish and chips alone as far back as February 11, the Mirror reports.
The parents were arrested in Brighton on Monday after dodging police for over seven weeks but their newborn child was not with them. After refusing to tell officers where the baby was, a huge search was launched across a vast area of the Sussex countryside.
Last night, Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford from the Metropolitan Police, who led the investigation, confirmed that the remains of a baby had been discovered in a wooded area near where Marten and Gordon were arrested. Now, CCTV from early February has emerged which shows the couple were never seen with their baby during their time in Brighton.
