A baby girl named Victoria was born on Christmas Eve, 2022, in Northumberland. Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, her parents, traveled extensively while hiding her. Victoria lived for at least two weeks before her death, which remains uncertain. The couple faced a pre-trial hearing in 2025, having previously been tried in 2024 for child cruelty and other charges related to Victoria's death. They were found guilty of lesser charges, and a retrial was ordered for the more serious accusations involving gross negligence manslaughter.
Marten and Gordon's absences from trial were frequent, and when present, they displayed an affectionate bond despite being imprisoned separately.
The couple was tried for five counts related to the death of their baby, Victoria, with a retrial ordered for the most serious charges.
