The forty-nine-year-old
hairdresser Sian Blake who had agreed to be extradited to the UK from Ghana,
where he was arrested after leaving the UK had confessed to murder.
Arthur Simpson-Kent
admitted killing his 43-year-old girlfriend and their sons Zachary, eight, and
Amon, four, when he appeared at the Old Bailey to enter pleas.
The murders took place
between 12 December, 2015, and 3 January, earlier this year.
The victims were not seen
after December 13 and their bodies were found buried in the garden of the
family's home in Erith, Kent, on 5 January.
Appearing via video link
from Belmarsh jail, Simpson-Kent appeared before Mr Justice Singh at the court.
He was remanded in custody
ahead of a sentencing hearing, which is due to take three days from 4 October.
Ms Blake played Frankie
Pierre in 56 episodes of EastEnders between 1996 and 1997.
She had been diagnosed with
motor neurone disease before she died.
Her sister Ava, who
attended the court with Ms Blake's mother, told reporters outside that the
family were "really relieved".
