Murder suspect Arthur Simpson-Kent, who was wanted over the killing of former EastEnders actress Sian Blake and her two children at their home in Erith, has been arrested in Ghana.
The 48-year-old was reportedly arrested in the western region of Ghana after fleeing the UK following the death of his partner Sian and their two children, Zachary, eight, and four year-old Amon.
Scotland Yard launched a murder investigation after their bodies were discovered in the garden of the family home in Pembroke Road, Erith.
Detectives discovered the bodies of Ms Blake, 43, and her two sons last Tuesday and said "significant attempts" had been made to conceal the family's remains

The Met Police have confirmed that an arrest has been made in Ghana, and said officers are "currently working alongside the Ghanaian authorities".
