Aristocrat Constance Marten and her boyfriend 'camped off grid' in the depths of winter with their newborn daughter, before the tiny girl's body was found hidden in a shed, wrapped in a plastic bag and covered in nappies, a court heard today.
Marten, 35, and Mark Gordon, 48, are accused of killing baby Victoria in rural Sussex, after going on the run with the child between January 5 and February 27.
Their disappearance sparked a huge police manhunt for weeks, involving hundreds of Metropolitan and Sussex police officers, as well as search and rescue volunteers who scoured 90 square miles of land for the child.
The search continued for weeks, before the parents were arrested. Victoria's body was later found on a Brighton allotment.
The couple are charged with the manslaughter of Victoria by gross negligence, concealment of the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.
