A lawyer says the boyfriend of a British actress has admitted killing her and her two young children.
Defense attorney Jim Sturman told a British court at hearing today that Arthur Simpson-Kent admitted killing his partner Sian Blake and her children, 8-year-old Zachary and 4-year-old Amon.
Simpson-Kent, 48, appeared via video link from Belmarsh prison. He will remain in custody until July 29, when he is expected to enter a plea.
Simpson-Kent flew to Ghana after speaking to detectives in Britain on December 16 about Blake and the children, who had been reported missing. Their bodies were found in January.
Ghanaian police arrested him on January 9 in the western coastal town of Butre. He did not contest extradition. Blake, 43, appeared in the long-running soap opera "EastEnders" in 1996-1997.
