Constance Marten and Mark Gordon guilty of two charges

An Old Bailey jury was discharged in the case of Mark Gordon and Constance Marten after being unable to reach verdicts earlier this month

The jury was discharged last week after failing to reach verdicts on the more serious charges of the manslaughter by gross negligence of their baby daughter, and causing or allowing the death of a child. The couple had both pleaded not guilty to all the charges.The original jury returned the two guilty verdicts in May, before they were discharged.

The jury heard that Victoria was born while the couple were trying to avoid social services after their four previous children had been removed by the family court. Two and a half days after the fire the couple were seen on CCTV walking onto the South Downs just outside Newhaven. She said the couple had carried their dead child around for weeks, even taking it to the beach in Brighton one day.
