Constance Marten trial: Dead baby ‘well cared for’ by parents, court told

Prosecutors allege the baby died as a result of living outdoors in wintry conditions, but in an opening address to the jury, John Femi-Ola KC, who is defending Mr Gordon, said: “The baby was kept warm and dry, and was fed such as she was well-nourished. The baby did not require medical assistance.”
