The boyfriend of Erith EastEnders actress Sian Blake and dad of her two young boys has agreed to return to the UK voluntarily, over their murder.

Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, was arrested on a beach in Ghana two-and-a-half weeks ago, on January 9.

He appeared at a court in the country's capital, Accra, earlier today (January 26), and said he would not fight extradition back to Britain - according to reports.

Mr Simpson-Kent appeared at Kaneshie District Magistrate Court two weeks ago, on Tuesday, January 12.

An international manhunt was launched after the bodies of Sian Blake, 43, and her sons - eight-year-old Zachary (pictured right), and four-year-old Amon (left) - were found buried in the back garden of the family home in Pembroke Road on January 5.
