Police say Constance Marten baby 'had been dead for some time' after remains found in woodland

Описание: Police have said that missing aristocrat Constance Marten's baby 'had been dead for some time' after remains were found following a major search for the two-month-old.

Scores of officers from the Metropolitan Police and Sussex Police scoured 90 square miles of land near Brighton over the course of two days in search of the infant.

On Wednesday night, investigators revealed human remains had been found close to where Marten and her partner Mark Gordon were arrested on suspicion of child neglect earlier in the week.

In a fresh update issued on Thursday afternoon, Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford said they had so far been unable to determine the gender of the dead child.

Marten and Gordon refused to divulge information on the location or welfare of the baby while they were held in custody, leading to the extensive search operation. Detectives were granted a 36-hour custody extension by Brighton magistrates earlier on Wednesday.
