The family of murdered Sian Blake urged her partner to turn himself in – as a photo showed him arriving in Africa days after being quizzed over her disappearance.
Arthur Simpson-Kent was snapped by an airport camera as the ex-EastEnders actress, 43, and their sons Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, lay buried at their home.
The bodies were formally identified and a post-mortem examination revealed they died from head and neck injuries.
The photo from Ghana emerged as Sian’s grieving sister Ava urged Simpson-Kent to return home and “face justice”.
Breaking down in tears during a Scotland Yard appeal with mum Pansy, she said: “Unfortunately I believe Arthur was responsible. I want him to face justice and explain why. He’ll have to answer to the courts of this country – and to God, eventually.”

Telling of the family’s devastation, she said: “My brother is angry. My cousins are angry. They are angry about Sian, but the boys have devastated us. We have lost a generation. We can never replace them.”
Simpson-Kent, 48, was questioned by police at the family home in Erith, Kent, on December 16, three days after Sian and the boys were last seen by their family.

Simpson-Kent then fled the UK on December 19 and the bodies were found in the back garden on Tuesday.
Ava, 51, said Sian – who played Frankie Pierre in EastEnders in 1996 – had planned to leave him over Christmas, only putting it off to give him time to find a new place to live. She said: “My sister wasn’t the vivacious, happy person she once was.”

Scotland Yard would not confirm if they were searching for Simpson-Kent abroad. A source in Ghana said authorities there have not been asked to help find him.
British officials were not even told of his presence in Ghana until long after his arrival, it was claimed. The Foreign Office and Met Police declined to comment

Gari business is thriving.
