Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon have been found guilty at the Old Bailey of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice but will be retried over the death of the baby.

The CPS announced that the pair will face a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict on the charge of manslaughter by gross negligence.

Marten and Gordon had been on trial at the Old Bailey accused of killing their daughter Victoria in January 2023.

There had been a high-profile police search for the missing baby which culminated in the couple’s arrests in Brighton last February, with the child found days afterwards.
