One of the most high profile manhunts in recent years started with the burnt-out shell of a car abandoned on a motorway. Reports of the Peugeot 206, which had broken down on the M61 near Bolton, first reached firefighters in Greater Manchester on the evening of 5 January 2023.

The occupants of that vehicle – aristocrat Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon, a convicted rapist – have this week been found guilty of the gross-negligence manslaughter of their newborn baby Victoria, after "a lengthy, emotionally charged ordeal" that included a nationwide manhunt and two chaotic trials.

Constance Marten's partner Mark Gordon had previously spent 22 years in prison for violently raping an adult woman in Florida when he was just 14 years old
