An aristocrat and her lover who went on the run to stop their newborn daughter being taken into care were jailed for 14 years on Monday for killing the baby.
Millionaire heiress Constance Marten, 38, and Mark Gordon, 51, sparked a £1.2million national manhunt after disappearing with their baby Victoria, camping in the freezing cold and causing the infant's death from hypothermia.
Their four older children had already been removed by social services and Marten feared her fifth child would be taken away too.
On Monday, a judge said the 'arrogant' couple thought of no one but themselves when they fled, travelling around the country before camping in a flimsy tent on the South Downs in the middle of winter without even a hat or coat for their newborn.
'To most right-thinking people, their children are the most precious beings, to be nurtured and cared for, to be kept warm; to be fed and above all, to be loved,' Judge Mark Lucraft told the defendants.
