Police report discovery in connection with investigation into couple located in Brighton on Monday
Police officers searching for a missing baby have discovered the remains of an infant near to where the child’s parents were arrested after weeks of evading authorities.
The arrests brought to an end a 53-day nationwide search for the couple and triggered a “painstaking” search for their baby, with hundreds of officers trawling open land across an area of 90 sq miles in Sussex.On Wednesday evening police officers said the search had reached a “heartbreaking” conclusion and remains had been found near to where the child’s parents had been arrested.
Ch Supt James Collis, of Sussex police, said: “I understand that the conclusion of this search will be heartbreaking for the local community and the wider public who have been impacted by and so supportive of this search and the investigation from the outset.” They had been travelling around the UK by taxi since their car was found burning on the M61 outside Bolton, Greater Manchester, on 5 January. Evidence was found to suggest Marten had given birth in the car. Taxi drivers used by the couple in the first few days after they went missing said they heard noises coming from a baby. It is not known whether the baby was born full-term or had any health problems.
