Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon have been found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of their newborn baby.
Marten, 38, who is from a wealthy family, and Gordon, 51, went on the run with their daughter Victoria to get away from social services after their four other children were taken into care.
The baby’s body was found with rubbish inside a Lidl shopping bag, in the corner of a disused shed, in an allotment in Brighton on 1 March 2023 – two days after the couple were arrested following a 54-day nationwide police hunt.
Prosecutors said Victoria’s death was "inevitable" when Marten and Gordon began camping on the South Downs in January 2023 in a "flimsy" tent.
