Marten, 36, is on trial over the death of her newborn daughter Victoria while on the run from authorities with her partner Mark Gordon, 49.
Wealthy aristocrat Constance Marten has told jurors she advised her partner to lie to police about being present when their baby daughter died because she thought they would “automatically blame him, being a black guy”.
The court has heard how the defendants fled with the baby after their car burst into flames near Bolton, Greater Manchester, last January 5.She said Gordon told her not to tell police that Victoria died while Marten was holding her in her sleep because police would “blame” her.Asked if she advised Gordon to lie to the police, she said: “Yes, I’m very protective over my husband because I feel that he gets blamed for everything.
Jurors also heard Marten and Gordon discussed handing Victoria in to the authorities when she was alive. “After Victoria died we sort of lost all or our motive and drive because everything we were doing was for her,” Marten said.
