Arthur Simpson-Kent has been charged with the murders of former EastEnders actress Sian Blake and her two children, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

The 48-year-old will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court later on Friday.

Ms Blake, 43, and sons Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, were found buried in the garden of their home in Erith Kent on 5 January, having been reported missing weeks earlier.

A post-mortem found the three had died from neck and head injuries.
