Constance Marten claimed her name was Arabella and told police you can't arrest someone for hiding a pregnancy after she was was finally caught after almost eight weeks on the run, a court has heard.
The infant's remains were eventually found in a disused shed, hidden by a plastic bag and covered in rubbish as if she was refuse, the court was told.
The prosecution allege the couple's reckless and utterly selfish behaviour led to the entirely avoidable death of their newborn daughter, named Victoria, after the pair spent weeks on the run living in a tent in freezing conditions to avoid the child being taken into care.
