Update needed in January 2024[edit]

I have added a (future) update needed tag because this article will need to be updated in January 2024, once this couple go on trial. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 06:45, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing the immediate deletion of the following paragraph until after completion of the trial,

"In 1989, aged 14, he broke into a neighbour's property and raped her at knifepoint. He was found guilty of "one count of armed kidnapping, four separate counts of armed sexual battery and one count of burglary with a deadly weapon". He served 20 years in prison before being deported back to the UK in 2010."

In accordance with the CPS who have stated the defendants are entitled to a fair trial!

This is irrelevant to the current trial and does not affect its fairness. It is mentioned as it provides more information and some background/history on one of the subjects of the article. greyzxq ^talk 00:41, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

not relevant???[edit]

the couple's four other children were taken into care . . . 70.26.172.188 (talk) 21:59, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She is getting old, and the 5th one could be the last one she will ever have...

She will do anything to keep the baby by her side!

Sentence on Constance Marten's parents[edit]

The sentence describing Marten's family has a strange formation, along the lines of "Both her father and her mother had three sons, including her brother, Tobias." This implies uncertainty about the total number of siblings. Father had three sons. Mother had three sons. One son was named Tobias and was the brother of Marten. I believe the sentence creates an apparent logic puzzle out simple facts: Constance Marten's parents had three sons together as well as a daughter. The sentence should be rewritten to reflect this. Am I correct, or is the situation in fact more complex? Dettifoss (talk) 01:23, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
