Constance Marten and Mark Gordon have been remanded in custody charged with manslaughter after a court heard the remains of a baby were found in a plastic bag under some nappies in an allotment shed. The couple appeared at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Friday accused of three charges – including concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.
