"Sadly, as part of a thorough forensic search we are carrying out at the family's home in Erith, we recovered three bodies from the garden of the property."

"As yet, we have not formally identified the bodies but this is of course a significant development and Sian's family have been informed."

"This continues to be a fast moving investigation and our thoughts are with Sian's family at this time.

"We continue to appeal for any information that could help us trace Sian's partner Arthur Simpson-Kent. If anyone has any information about where he is or his movements since 16 December then please get in touch with us.

"I would also like to ask anyone who may have seen Sian and her children, or who may have information about their movements since the last confirmed sighting on 13 December, to call us.
"This is now a murder investigation and as such I'd urge anyone who can help our investigation to contact us on 020 8721 4805," the statement said.

Post-mortem examinations on three bodies recovered following a search at the home address of Sian Blake in Erith will take place on Wednesday, 6 January and will be done at
the Princess Royal Hospital at Farnborough Hospital.
