Constance Marten and Mark Gordon are currently undergoing a retrial for manslaughter by gross negligence and causing or allowing the death of their two-month-old daughter. The baby’s body was discovered in a shopping bag in 2023. The retrial is expected to last up to eight weeks. Allegations against the couple include exposing the newborn to dangerous conditions, with reports suggesting that Marten's boyfriend made the baby sleep face down to prevent her from crying. Marten has claimed that she was 'consumed by grief' after the tragic incident, which she described as an accident, stating she fell asleep while bathing with the infant. A seven-year-old daughter alerted Marten to the situation when she noticed her baby sister face down in the water. The case has drawn significant media attention due to the circumstances surrounding the child's death and the couple's previous attempts to evade authorities.
