Marten, 36, told a court that her family did not want her to have children with her partner and that they "will do anything to erase that child."She and her partner Mark Gordon, 49, are on trial after baby Victoria died while they were camping on the South Downs in wintry conditions last year."I had to escape my family, they are extremely oppressive and bigoted," she told jurors today during cross-examination.
They narrowly avoided arrest on one occasion when they ate sandwiches on Brighton beach with Victoria's body.She said: "We had walked to Brighton once with her body and went to the beach two-and-a-half weeks before being arrested."Someone noticed us on the beach, police cars started coming to the beach. We, by hook or by crook, got back to the park undetected. We stopped going out. Mark got extremely thin.
