Constance Marten and Mark Gordon have been remanded into custody 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: gross negligent manslaughter, concealing the birth of a child, and perverting the course of justice.
