I've seen the photos of her with her other children (3 I think) she and the kids look really happy. I wonder if it's a case of looks can be deceiving or something at some point has gone horribly wrong. Hasn't her dad urged the police to look into that nigerian cult she was in? He said she's never been the same since.
Looks can be very deceiving indeed. Just look at Chris Watts.
I have heard she has mental health issues, I think she is vulnerable and in a coercive control type relationship with him. There will be a care order in place for her other kids and any future kids and that's why the police were after her, because they breached it.

Not absolving her of any guilt though. They are clearly 2 chaotic people who need to stop breeding.

I’m absolutely not defending anything that CM or MG have done, not at all.

I absolutely do not think fleeing to hide a newborn is the right thing to do.

But there’s a whole lot of judgement going on when there are very few facts known.
I’m very comfortable judging two people who have left a trail of destruction (and now death) in their wake since they met.

The police officer is saying they still have hope the baby is alive, is it possible they have added the manslaughter arrest to maybe force some kind of information from the parents ? Or is he possibly just being kind?

Police believe they were still living in open land or outbuildings. They are looking at a 13 x 7 mile search area at the moment.

From the DM:

Constance was apparently tearful when police swooped in Golf Drive and yelled at them to 'get off' her lover when he was restrained, saying she was worried about his mental health. One witness claimed he struggled and took 40 minutes to be subdued.

Just awful and they wondered why the authorities wanted to take the baby off them.

I’m hoping they are just charging them under suspicion of manslaughter in hope it might scare them into telling where the baby is and it’s still ok 😞

So they had other children previously? How do we know that?
Constance’s open FB account had a folder with photos of three kids. People speculated that some of the photos looked like they’d been taken at a contact centre.

It now makes sense why the police were so desperate to find them. This is heartbreaking. That poor baby 💔

I don't know how it works but wondered if they have maybe charged them with manslaughter to extend the time they are allowed to keep them in custody? I also think sadly they must have some evidence pointing them in that direction. I just find it unfathomable that the baby is alive and they are no commenting their interviews. Sadly the baby has IMO probably passed and it honestly is the stuff of nightmares what the baby's short time on earth must have been like. Cold, stressed, hungry, ill and in pain probably.

That poor baby. Honestly knocks me sick to my stomach to think of an innocent little soul suffering. Hoping for some sort of miracle 😢

Unforgiveable not to take the baby for medical care. And even being arrested she's only concerned about her man.

There’s a guy on now saying that’s exactly why, to allow them to detain & question for longer. They can then get a warrant from a magistrate to detain for a few more days.

Yes they would have had to release them tomorrow if they didnt do this. They are basing it on the circumstances that finding the baby alive is looking very slim now.

Sky news just had someone on saying this, it now means they can detain them overnight without having to go to magistrates to request more time (which they have to do once 24hrs is up).

I also think as they were arrested for child neglect but failed to cooperate with police, the step up to gross negligence manslaughter is also more likely the outcome but possibly a tactic if baby is still alive for them to give up where she is.
