Pair found guilty of manslaughter of newborn baby, who died after they went on run to evade social services

Two parents have been found guilty of the manslaughter of their newborn daughter, who died after they took her to live in a tent in freezing wintry conditions to evade social services.

Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, who had already had their first four children taken into care, went on the run with their fifth - a baby girl named Victoria - shortly after her birth in December 2022.
