43-year-old ex-EastEnders actress Sian Blake and her two young sons aged four and eight, were reported missing on December 13.

Blake’s partner Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, initially alerted police but has since gone missing himself.

After searching Blake’s home in south-east London, three bodies have been discovered in the garden.

“As yet, we have not formally identified the bodies but this is a significant development and Sian’s family have been informed,” said Met Police Detective Superintendent Paul Monk.

The case is being treated as a murder investigation.

Sian Blake was reported missing a couple of weeks before Christmas.
