Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon have been found guilty at the Old Bailey of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice, it can now be reported.
There will be a retrial on other charges they were facing, which is likely to be held in March next year.
Marten, 37, who is from a wealthy family, and Gordon, 50, were charged following the death of their newborn baby daughter Victoria.
A nationwide search for Marten and Gordon was launched after a placenta was found in the couple's burnt-out car on a motorway in Bolton, Greater Manchester, in January 2023.
The couple were arrested in Brighton last February, with the child's body found days later.
That trial began at the Old Bailey in London on 25 January.
A jury of eleven were given a majority direction and, after deliberating for some 60 hours, they found Marten and Gordon guilty of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.
They were discharged after a total of more than 72 hours of deliberation, having been unable to reach a verdict on the other charges.
