The prosecution claim the reckless, utterly selfish and callous conduct of Constance Marten, 36, and Mark Gordon, 49, who kept their daughter secret and went on the run to stop her being taken into care, led to the death of the newborn.
The court heard the couple concealed Marten's pregnancy and travelled the country to evade the authorities driven by their selfish desire to keep the infant, after their four other children were taken into care.
