Constance Marten, a wealthy socialite, is set to appeal her 14-year prison sentence for the death of her infant daughter Victoria — a case that shocked Britain and exposed a chilling pattern of neglect. Alongside her partner Mark Gordon, she was convicted of manslaughter, child cruelty, and obstructing justice after fleeing London to avoid child services, leaving their baby to die from hypothermia in a freezing tent. The judge rejected claims the death was accidental, citing repeated failures to care for their vulnerable child. Gordon received an additional four years on extended license. The couple was caught in Brighton after a nationwide manhunt triggered by a burning car near Bolton, with the baby’s body found weeks later in a shed. Marten now seeks to overturn both her conviction and sentence — though no appeal date has been set yet.
