The killer aristocrat: Constance Marten and lover guilty of killing newborn

Runaway aristocrat Constance Marten and her lover Mark Gordon were convicted today of killing their baby.The couple shook their heads in the dock of the Old Bailey as they were found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence of their daughter Victoria after going on the run to stop her being taken into care.Moments after being convicted, Gordon angrily shouted from the dock: 'I'm not surprised by the verdict. It was faulty, it was unlawful. This is not over, it has just begun.' It can now be revealed, following their retrial, that the pair have already been convicted at an earlier trial of child cruelty, concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.In an extraordinary case which gripped the country, the couple went on the run with their baby in a 'desperately selfish' bid to prevent her being taken into care after their four previous children were removed by social workers, who feared they would come to harm.
