Metropolitan Police
Police have found three bodies in the search for a former soap star and her two young children.
Sian Blake, 43, who played Frankie Pierre in popular BBC show EastEnders between 1996 and 1997, has been missing since December 13 along with her two sons Zachary, eight, and four-year-old Amon.
The Metropolitan Police have launched a murder investigation after the bodies were found at the family home in Erith, Kent.
Detective Superintendent Paul Monk, from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, issued the following statement on the Met Police website:
Sadly, as part of a thorough forensic search we are carrying out at the family's home in Erith, we recovered three bodies from the garden of the property.
As yet, we have not formally identified the bodies but this is of course a significant development and Sian's family have been informed.
This continues to be a fast moving investigation and our thoughts are with Sian's family at this time.
We continue to appeal for any information that could help us trace Sian's partner Arthur Simpson-Kent. If anyone has any information about where he is or his movements since 16 December then please get in touch with us.
I would also like to ask anyone who may have seen Sian and her children, or who may have information about their movements since the last confirmed sighting on 13 December, to call us.
This is now a murder investigation and as such I'd urge anyone who can help our investigation to contact us on 020 8721 4805.
Blake suffered from motor neurone disease and was last seen in the Waltham Forest area of east London. Her car was found on January 3 in Bethnal Green, also in east London, but the police currently do not know who left it there.
