Missing aristocrat found weeks later, gruesome discovery shakes England
There was a shocking development in the incident where Constance Marten (35) and her lover Mark Gordon (48), who came from an aristocratic family in England, went missing with their babies.
The couple disappeared on January 6 with their newborn baby. After weeks of searching, the couple were found in Brighton on Monday. The couple, whose children were not with them, were detained on charges of “child abuse” for refusing to reveal the location of the baby.
Gordon and Marten were arrested.
Trying to locate the baby, the police came across a terrible find yesterday. The body of a baby was found near where Marten and Gordon were identified. It is believed that the couple did not receive medical attention for their baby born in January and the baby may have died as a result of the neglect.
THE POLICE LOOKED AROUND THE COUNTRY
While the incident made quite an impression in England, hundreds of police officers were involved in the calls that lasted 53 days.
After the couple disappeared, they saw themselves reflected on cameras with their babies.
Authorities announced that weeks-long searches were sadly ended and the baby’s remains were sent to forensic medicine for examination. Lewis Basford of British Police said: “It is with great sadness that I report that police searching the woods found the remains of a baby. This was an outcome we never wanted. “I know the story will have a profound effect on those who tell it. follow, and I promise to do everything I can to find out what happened.”
Marten comes from an aristocratic family with ties to the British royal family. The family is worth £100 million, owning a first grade listed manor house, four villages, a cricket club and a lake.
Marten was a promising drama student before meeting Gordon in 2016, who was jailed for 20 years in the US on rape charges. The detained couple are said to have been living far from their families for a long time and do not have many friends.
The couple’s cars, who have been staying in rental houses since September last year and avoiding attention, were found burning in Manchester on January 5. It was reported that there was evidence that Marten gave birth in the car.
Eyewitnesses reported that the couple’s baby had some health problems after birth.
