Investigation into handling of Sian Blake case

An investigation will take place into Scotland Yard's handling of the case of former EastEnders actor Sian Blake and her two sons, who were founded murdered this week.

Britain's Independent Police Complaints Commission says it will examine the response to concerns for the welfare of Ms Blake and her sons Zachary and Amon, as well as the subsequent missing persons inquiry.

A missing person’s investigation started on the same day after police attended the family home in Erith, Kent. On Tuesday, almost three weeks later, three bodies were discovered in the garden of the property, triggering a murder inquiry.(-PA)
