UK police have launched an international manhunt for a father suspected of killing his wife and two daughters before fleeing to Zimbabwe.
The suspect, 45-year-old Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, also known as Mark, is a British citizen of Zimbabwean heritage. Investigators believe he left the United Kingdom through London Heathrow Airport on July 4 using a British passport.
The bodies of his wife, Zandile Tshuma, 42, and their daughters, Natalie, 15, and Nala, five, were discovered at the family’s £1.3 million home in an affluent area of Bedford, central England, after police responded to concerns raised on July 6.
Detective Lee Martin confirmed that authorities believe Tshuma has travelled to Zimbabwe and said efforts are underway to locate him.
“We know that Mark Tshuma left the country on Saturday and is now believed to be in Zimbabwe,” Martin told reporters.
