Marten and her partner Mark Gordon, of no fixed address, deny manslaughter by gross negligence.

Fugitive aristocrat Constance Marten has been accused in court of “grand-standing on a premier league level” and telling “big fat lies” over the death of her daughter.

In a closing speech on Monday, Mr Little said: “Lies fell from her mouth like confetti in the wind when she gave evidence.” It was no coincidence the only clothes found by police with Victoria’s body were those she was seen wearing on CCTV, he said. Mr Little told jurors: “In the real world they caused the death of baby Victoria. How they did it and when they did it are critical questions but be in no doubt about the question of causation.”
