The first photographs have emerged of triple murder suspect Arther-Simpson Kent as he left the country from Heathrow Airport to Africa.

The 48-year-old was seen on CCTV after being quizzed by police over the deaths of former ­Eastenders star Sian Blake, 43, and their children Zachary, eight, and four-year-old Amon.

Simpson-Kent left the family home on December 16 and was spotted driving towards East London, 15 miles away from it's original spot.

The Renault Scenic was left in a street where it sat for more than two weeks gathering parking tickets.

CCTV showed Simpson-Kent park the car and walk away, carrying a rucksack.

He was picked up on camera again five minutes later walking in nearby Shoreditch before calling at a friend’s house unannounced and telling him he was leaving the country.

At 10pm, the suspect was spotted at Heathrow Airport.

It is believed he planned to take a flight that night but was too late to catch the last plane.

Simpson-Kent is then seen on security cameras coming back to East London and withdrawing money from a cash machine, before booking another flight using his friends laptop and credit card.

There is no suggestion the friend had knowledge of the crimes he is alleged to have committed.

He spent December 17 in Camden, North London, as pictured here.

That night, Simpson-Kent caught the sleeper coach from Victoria station in London to Glasgow, where his KLM flight would take him via Amsterdam to Ghana’s capital, Accra.

In the last picture of him on British soil he is seen to be heading through the departure gate and onto his flight.

More than 27 hours later, on December 19, Ghanaian border control took a picture of his face, as they do with all passengers, before stamping his passport and allowing him through.

Back in Britain, police again called at the family home and found he was gone.

He was listed as a “high-risk missing person”.

In Kent, the missing persons search for Sian and the children became a murder hunt when their bodies were found buried in the back garden on January 3 where a knife was used on the children.

Simpson-Kent, who worked on TV shows, films and fashion shoots, was arrested on January 9 after villagers led police to a cove where he had been ­swimming. He gave himself up.

The suspect appeared in court last week and asked to be taken back to the UK where he is expected to face trial.
