The bodies of British actress Sian Blake and her two sons, 8-year-old Zachary and 4-year-old Amon, were found dead in the garden in the actress’ home, according to British detectives.
A British police officer said they all died from head and neck injuries, and that “significant attempts had been made to conceal the bodies.” The family had been missing since December 16th. The case is currently being treated as a murder investigation.
Police are searching for Blake’s boyfriend and the father of her two sons, 48-year-old Arthur Simpson-Kent. In fact, Simpson-Kent had also been missing since December 16th, but has been found in Ghana after leaving the U.K, the BBC News reports.
“We continue to appeal for any information that could help us trace Sian’s partner, Arthur Simpson-Kent,” Detective Superintendent Paul Monk from the Homicide and Major Crime Command said in a statement. “If anyone has any information about where he is or his movements since December 16, then please get in touch with us.”
Blake was an extremely popular actress who played on the British soap opera EastEnders in the 1990s. She also had major roles in shows such as Doctors, The Bill and Skins. She was only 43 years old.
Since the discovery of the three bodies on Tuesday, fans have been leaving flowers and teddy bears outside Blake’s home.
