BRITISH MEDIA REPORTS say the partner of EastEnders actress Sian Blake has been arrested in Ghana.
British police earlier opened a murder inquiry after Blake’s body, along with those of her 8-year-old son Zachary and 4-year-old son Amon, were found in the garden of their home in southeast London. The three were last seen 13 December.
BBC News reports that Blake’s partner, Arthur Simpson-Kent, was detained in Ghana. Simpson-Kent disappeared after speaking to detectives on 16 December.
When asked about the reports, Scotland Yard said detectives are aware of an arrest in Ghana but cannot confirm the identity of the man. The force said it is working with Ghanaian authorities.
BBC correspondent Alistair Leithead told the broadcaster that Simpson-Kent was arrested by armed officers in a popular coastal area.
The man was hiding in rocks at the time.
“He gave himself up and they found that he had a knife on him, but he didn’t use it in a threatening way,” Leithead said.
He was then taken to a nearby village where police thanked the people who had informed them he was in this area.

Put the heavy things at the back I said, not the front.
@Alan Byrne: locking pin for front gear appears to have been put in incorrectly.
Slow news day eh
They’ll probably hold an enquiry, but it seems plane enough.
Even planes are taking the knee now
Any word on the 4 dead pilots from British airways ??
@Larry Williams: one died from covid having spent the over 8 months in hospital. Looks like another was a biking accident. Not sure about the other 2, but it’d be great to stop making assumptions and wait until facts come out……
@Anthony Keenan: BA have also since confirmed that none of the 4 are linked and none relate to the vaccine
@Larry Williams: Two are certainly not linked. One was a bike accident, another was from complications having spent over a year in hospital in the States following an illness.
@Anthony Keenan: Take what they say with a pinch of salt. The BBC also tried to cover up Lisa Shaw’s death until her family went public. Now another reporter, Dom Nugent, is dead after “a short illness”. 11 weeks after the vaccine.
@Dave: yeah because dead after a short illness was never heard of before covid
@johnny onion eye: You keep pretending to yourself that all of these deaths of young, healthy people have absolutely nothing to do with these jabs if you want. They also said Lisa Shaw’s death was from a short illness also until her family spoke out.
@Larry Williams: bunch of w4nkers, I never mentioned anything about vaccine, but you jumped to conclusions, a$$ holes as always
@Larry Williams: Call us whatever names you like, but it’s looking like they were vaccine related. Someone mentioned the one that died from a bike accident as if it can’t be related. The autopsy shows he died from internal abdominal bleeding not consistent with the accident. Abdominal bleeding, like clots, is another much more common occurence than is being reported.
I see Ryan Air gave started to sneak those doggy Boeings across the Atlantic.
