This is the moment police detained the suspected killer of former EastEnders actress Sian Blake and their two sons in Ghana.
Arthur Simpson-Kent, 48, was armed with a 'knife and a spoon' when he was detained in the coastal town of Takoradi, 150 miles from the Ghanian capital Accra.
Pictures have emerged of Ms Blake's boyfriend handcuffed and sitting on a stool today after police swooped in to arrest him. He was tracked down by Ghanian detectives after leaving the UK for the west African country on December 19.
He has been wanted since the bodies of Ms Blake and their two sons Zachary, eight, and Amon, four, were found on Tuesday buried in shallow graves in his family's back garden.
Interpol's director in Ghana said: 'He has been arrested. He had a knife and a spoon on him.'
Four Met officers had also travelled to Ghana as part of the investigation.
The hairdresser and former model arrived in the capital city Accra on December 19 - three days after police questioned him at the family home in Erith, Kent.
Officers plan to drive him back to the capital city Accra as soon as possible.
