Three Bodies Found in Search For Missing EastEnders Actress

Three bodies have been found in the search for missing former EastEnders actress Sian Blake and her children, police have said.

Ms Blake, who played Frankie Pierre in the soap, went missing from east London with sons Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, on 13 December.

Three days later the children’s father Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, disappeared following a police interview.

Scotland Yard’s Homicide and Major Crime Command took over the investigation into the family’s disappearance and officers were searching Ms Blake’s home and garden.Police said that three bodies have now been found and the search is now being treated as a murder investigation.

‘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,’ Detective Superintendent Paul Monk, from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said.

‘As yet, we have not formally identified the bodies but this is of course a significant development and Sian’s family have been informed.’
