Constance Marten, a disturbed mother who was involved in a Nigerian cult, endured a harrowing experience under the influence of a manipulative preacher named TB Joshua. The shocking revelations, captured in footage obtained by The Sun, shed light on Marten’s transformation from a privileged socialite to a neglectful mother. Marten, along with her partner Mark Gordon, was recently sentenced to 14 years in prison for the tragic death of their newborn daughter Victoria.
Marten’s ordeal in the cult included disturbing practices such as psychological torment sessions, surveillance by armed guards, and manipulation of followers’ dreams by the preacher. Marten, a former researcher at Al Jazeera, later attempted to expose the cult through a documentary project.
The court case exposed Gordon’s criminal history, which included violent offenses in the US. The couple’s reckless behavior ultimately led to the tragic death of their daughter, as they neglected her basic needs for warmth and protection. Despite claiming the death was an accident, the prosecution argued that their negligence directly contributed to the baby’s demise.
After a nationwide search, Marten and Gordon were apprehended in Brighton, where they were found with their deceased baby concealed in a bag. The couple’s behavior in court, including feigning illness and disrupting proceedings, further highlighted their callous disregard for the consequences of their actions.
