Aristocrats Sentenced for Baby's Death
Tap title to read story
A British aristocrat, Constance Marten, and her boyfriend, Mark Gordon, were sentenced to 14 years in prison for the gross negligence manslaughter of their newborn daughter, Victoria. The couple, who had a history of evading authorities, concealed the birth and neglected the baby, leading to her death from hypothermia. A nationwide search ensued after the discovery of a placenta in their burned-out car. Victoria's body was later found in a Brighton garden shed. The judge rejected the couple's claims of accidental death, highlighting their lack of care for their child. Gordon will serve an additional four years on extended license.
