EastEnders star and two children beaten and stabbed to death after she was going to leave partner
ok.co.ukA cannabis dealer bludgeoned and stabbed former EastEnders actor Sian Blake before killing their sons in their sleep. Arthur Simpson-Kent, 57, pleaded guilty to the horrific killings of his partner Sian, 43, and their children, Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, at their family home in Erith, south-east London.
In December 2015, he savagely attacked Sian and the boys with a small axe before stabbing them, just days after Sian – who starred in 56 episodes of EastEnders as singer Frankie Pierre in the mid-1990s – discovered she was terminally ill and planned to leave their "unhealthy" relationship to live with her mother.
After the brutal assault, Arthur concealed the bodies in plastic and buried them in the garden before escaping to Ghana. Upon discovering Sian's plans, Simpson-Kent launched his violent attack on his family "with heavy, deliberate, repeated blows".
He then tried to conceal his heinous crimes by wrapping each of his victims in plastic and sheeting and burying them in the garden.
