A missing person inquiry was launched on January 5 when the car she and Gordon were traveling in was found abandoned and on fire on the side of the M61. Officers from the Sussex Police and the Metropolitan Police have been scouring 90 square miles of rural territory using helicopters, sniffer dogs, thermal imaging cameras, and drones.
Update on the illness and mental health of Constance Marten
Page Contents
Constance Marten’s illness has unfortunately received little attention from the police since the issue is still delicate, but a childhood friend of hers said that a Nigerian cult may have indoctrinated her.
Her companion is concerned that Mark Gordon, the 35-year-old rapist’s partner, has a “hold over her.” More than two weeks ago, Constance and Gordon left their burning car on a Manchester motorway.
They fled across the nation with their child. Recent information has shown that Gordon was sentenced to 20 years in jail for his four-hour attack on a neighbor, during which he raped the lady and threatened to “kill her children” if she yelled.
Their companion of Constance has described how she was “traumatized” by a charismatic Nigerian evangelical church leader. Constance spent nearly six months living abroad while in college, working for controversial preacher T B Joshua.
She allegedly ended up becoming one of his followers in Nigeria and felt indoctrinated there, according to an unidentified acquaintance. She said that the incident traumatized her and that she changed after leaving.
After enrolling in a London-based evangelical-style school that investigated Christian theory, Constance, lovingly referred to by her friends as Toots, is said to have joined the controversial preacher Joshua. The friend indicated that she was now worried about Constance’s possible reaction to Gordon. Constance’s family allegedly cut ties with her after finding out about his criminal record and their fruitless efforts to warn her off, according to the acquaintance.
Baby Body Of Constance Marten Found In Brighton
Police have confirmed that a corpse has been found while looking for the newborn child of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon. The bones of a newborn were found in a forested area not far from where the lady and her friend were held on Monday.
The two remain in custody after being seized on suspicion of child abuse and the gross negligent infliction of newborn death. Chief Superintendent James Collis of Sussex Police said that the news will be “heartbreaking” for the community.
He stated that when the search is over, the local community and the wider public would be saddened since they have been impacted by and supportive of the search and the inquiry from the start.
The fugitive aristocrat and her partner were apprehended and detained in Brighton without their newborn kid. Constance had likely given birth to her kid in the automobile one or two days before the car catching fire on the motorway, it was discovered.
Sussex Police apprehended the pair after being alerted by a member of the public. There is still a lot of police in the vicinity since Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were found and imprisoned on Monday.
A blue forensic tent was erected on Golf Drive, which leads to the allotments where the search for their newborn on Wednesday was concentrated. Golf Drive was blocked off by multiple police vehicles and was not open to the public.
