Tragedy as remains of baby uncovered after pair lead police on 53-day manhunt that all started with car fire
Tragedy struck on Wednesday after police uncovered the remains of a baby in woodland close to where Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were arrested.
It was then revealed that travelling in the vehicle were the child's parents, aristocrat Constance Marten, and her partner, and convicted sex offender, Mark Gordon. There was concern raised after police said they did not believe the baby had been checked over by a doctor since birth. Detectives from Essex Police then established they had taken a taxi from Harwich to East Ham station on January 7th. Images were released of Constance, who appeared to be seen carrying the child under a red shawl. Fears were sparked that the duo had been camping, including in sub-zero temperatures, after Mark bought a two-man tent, sleeping bags and pillows from an Argos store in London.
In a tragic update on Wednesday , Metropolitan Police Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford made a heart-breaking announcement, revealing that remains of a baby had been found in the search for Constance and Mark's child. “A crime scene is in place and work at the location is expected to continue for some time. This is an outcome that myself and that many officers who have been part of this search had hoped would not happen.
