Police in Ghana have arrested a man in connection with the deaths of the former EastEnders actress Sian Blake and her two children.
Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, was detained after he fled the UK following the deaths of Ms Blake, who was his partner, and the couple's two children Zachary and Amon.Scotland Yard said detectives have been "made aware of an arrest in Ghana" and "are currently working alongside the Ghanaian authorities but are not in a position to discuss further at this time". Around 10 armed officers descended onto a beach in a town in the west of Ghana where Simpson-Kent was spotted hiding between some rocks, according to reports.
Officers from the international crime-fighting agency Interpol were involved in the arrest alongside Ghanaian police. Simpson-Kent has been taken to a police station and is expected to be flown back to the UK for questioning shortly. Pictures showed him handcuffed and sat on a stool with police at his side shortly after he was detained, and others of him being driven away in a vehicle.
