Aristocrat Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon will face a retrial for the manslaughter of their newborn daughter next year.
It comes after a jury at the Old Bailey failed to agree verdicts following a trial lasting six months.
However, it can now be reported the couple were found guilty of concealing the birth of a child and perverting the course of justice.
The CPS announced at a hearing on Wednesday it is pursuing a retrial against them over the charges of gross negligence manslaughter and causing or allowing the death of a child.
Marten appeared in court today wearing a pink blouse with Gordon in a blue shirt and tie.
Baby Victoria was found dead on an allotment in Brighton, East Sussex, last March.
There had been a high-profile police search for the missing infant which culminated in the couple’s arrests in Brighton last February, with the child found days afterwards.
