Constance Marten, a wealthy aristocrat, allegedly posed as a freelance journalist named 'Caroline' while evading authorities with her partner Mark Gordon and their newborn daughter in January 2023. The couple is accused of gross negligence manslaughter after their baby, Victoria, died in extreme conditions. They reportedly concealed her birth to prevent her from being taken into care, as had happened with their previous children. A hotel receptionist recounted Marten's charming demeanor while checking in, despite her fatigue and ruse about her profession and a lost credit card.
Cathy Lloyd noted that Constance Marten appeared genuine and "really sweet" during her hotel check-in, citing a lost credit card as the reason for cash payment.
The court alleged that the couple denied manslaughter charges, asserting that their actions were necessitated by fears of losing their newborn to the authorities.
