Constance Marten 'given nearly £50,000' before going on the run with baby and Mark Gordon - trial

Constance Marten was given £47,886 by C. Hoare & Co between September 1 2022 and January 17 2023. Marten, 36, and Mark Gordon, 49, went on the run with their daughter Victoria after their car burst into flames near Bolton, Greater Manchester, last January.
