The murder of former Eastenders actress Sian Blake and her two sons - why did it happen and who killed them?
When neighbours noticed year-old former Eastenders actress Sian Blake and her young sons packing black bags into the boot of a car outside her home in south-east London on Sunday December 13, , they had no idea that would be the last sighting they'd ever have of the family alive.
Three days later, on December 16, , Sian and her two sons - eight-year-old Zachary and Amon, four - were reported missing. By early January, when Sian's car was found in Bethnal Green, east London, their disappearance became a murder investigation, and the Homicide and Major Crime Command took over.
Sian Blake had played Frankie Pierre in Eastenders in the 90s.
What police didn't know at the time was that Sian and her children's bodies lay buried in the garden of their own home. And while there had also been concerns about the welfare of the actress' partner and the father of her two children, Arthur Simpson-Kent - who hadn't been seen since December 16 - it was actually he who was culpable for their deaths.
