Unemployed Pierre Williams, 32, was held in Birmingham after Kesha Wizzart, 18, her mother Beverley Samuels, 36, and brother Fred, 13, were found dead in their own home in Fallowfield, Greater Manchester on Thursday evening.

Detectives said on Friday they were urgently hunting Williams, a former friend of Mrs Samuels.

The couple had been friends but had not seen each other for some time.

A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said Williams called police in the early hours of Saturday and local officers went to his home, where he was arrested.

Detectives from Greater Manchester Police travelled to Birmingham to question him.

The bodies were found by a member of the public at the family's terraced home on Thelwall Avenue at about 7pm on Thursday.

Kesha, who appeared on Young Stars in Their Eyes in 2004 aged 15, was found dead with serious head injuries, with her mother, who worked as a nurse at Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Her teenage brother, who suffered from learning difficulties, was also found dead close by.

Mrs Samuels had split from her long-term partner and father of the children, IT worker Fred Wizzart.
