Constance Marten & Mark Gordon went on the run in January 2023, along with their daughter Victoria, born just a few days before.

A huge manhunt resulted in them being found in Brighton, and 2 days after that, Victoria's body was found in a plastic bag on an allotment.

The pair have been charged with killing her - which they both deny.

In this opening episode, which we've split into 2 parts, we get the opening statement from prosecutor, Tom Little KC.

Warning: This podcast references court proceedings which detail the death and alleged abuse of a child in detail.
