Appearing at the Old Bailey in London, Marten and Gordon denied the manslaughter of Victoria by gross negligence, concealment of the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.
Marten, 36, and Mark Gordon, 49, sparked a massive 54-day police hunt after they went on the run with baby Victoria in January this year.
Appearing at the Old Bailey today, Marten and Gordon denied the manslaughter of Victoria by gross negligence, concealment of the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice. They also denied child cruelty and causing or allowing the death of a child between January 4 and February 27. Marten's father Napier Marten, a former page to the late Queen, watched from the well of court wearing a green jacket and purple tie and pocket square.
Gudrun Young, KC, representing Marten, suggested the trial date may be too soon but prosecutor Jeol Smith argued it should take place as planned.A sketch of Marten and Gordon with a dock officer at the Old Bailey on March 31
