EastEnders' Sian Blake and her children confirmed dead | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Three bodies found in the garden of former actress Sian Blake are those of the former EastEnders star and her two children, police have confirmed. | |
The remains of Sian Blake, 43, and her children Zachary Bilal Kent-Blake, eight, and Amon Ben George Kent-Blake, four, were found at the family's south-east London home on 6 January. | |
A police spokesperson said they had died from "head and neck injuries". | |
Ms Blake's partner is being sought by police over the deaths. | |
However, the BBC understands Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, left the UK and may be in Ghana. | |
Sian Blake and the couple's sons had not been seen since 13 December. They were reported missing three days later. | |
Police said a missing persons' investigation had been launched on 16 December after officers attended the family's home in Erith. | |
This was undertaken following information from the children's charity, the NSPCC, over concerns about Ms Blake's health, police said. |
