Constance Marten, once the daughter of privilege raised in a £100 million estate with royal ties, now faces 14 years in prison for allowing her newborn daughter to die while on the run with her convicted rapist partner, Mark Gordon.
On 12 July 2024, Marten, 38, and Gordon, 51, were found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of their baby girl, Victoria. The child's decomposing body was found hidden in a rubbish bag in an abandoned shed in Brighton, following a 53-day nationwide manhunt.
