Judge Paul Thomas KC told Swansea Crown Court he was imposing the order not as punishment, but for "ongoing, probably lifelong, medical help".

Prosecutor Adam Vaitilingam KC told the jury they might find it "troubling" that a man trying to save someone's life decided "he needs to delete potentially incriminating material from his phone".

When Mr FitzGibbon KC asked if she agreed with the decisions made about taking the children away, Marten said "absolutely not… it's an absolute outrage", adding that her children were "stolen by the state".

Giving evidence for the first time on Thursday, Marten was asked by her barrister Mr FitzGibbon KC if she loved her daughter.

Opening the defence for his client John Femi-Ola KC said: "I do not propose to call Mr Gordon."
