Arthur Simpson-Kent, who is suspected to have murdered his girlfriend, Sian Blake, and their two sons, has been arrested in Ghana.
Arthur, 48, had been declared wanted since the bodies of his girlfriend and their two sons, Zachary and Amon, were found buried in shallow graves in the family’s back garden in the UK on Tuesday.
He was tracked down by Ghanaian detectives in a coastal area popular with tourists, BBC reports.
Blake and the two boys were last seen in their southeast London home on December 13, 2015 and they were officially declared missing, December 16.
Simpson-Kent was also last seen at home, December 16, after speaking to the police about his missing family.
When the bodies were found, January 5, 2016, Simpson-Kent had already departed the UK.
Police say Blake and her two sons died from injuries to the neck and head.
Blake, who had motor neurone disease, played Frankie Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997.
