Search for Constance Marten's baby ends in tragedy as remains found in Brighton
Police searching a wooded area close to where the couple were arrested discovered the remains of a baby.
A major search for the missing two-month-old child of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon has ended in tragedy as police announced they had found the remains of a baby.
Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford from the Metropolitan Police, who led the investigation, told reporters that remains were found in a wooded area.
The couple were arrested on Monday in Brighton after avoiding police for more than seven weeks but were without their child.
A massive hunt across a wide area of the Sussex countryside soon got underway.
More than 200 officers and specialist search teams scoured the area around Stanmer Villas where the couple were finally caught after a tip-off from a member of the public.
They were arrested on suspicion of child neglect, and later on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
