A British-Zimbabwean man, wanted for the alleged murder of his wife and two young daughters in the UK, is expected to appear in court on Monday after a dramatic manhunt ended with his arrest in Johannesburg.
Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who is wanted by British authorities in connection with the deaths of his wife, Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, 42, and their daughters, Natalie, 15, and Nala, 5, was arrested on Friday in Kensington during a joint operation involving the South African Police Service's Interpol National Central Bureau, Crime Intelligence and the Organised Crime Investigation Unit.
The three victims were found dead at their home near Bedford in England, sparking an international manhunt.
Tshuma's court appearance on Monday is expected to begin the legal process that could ultimately see him extradited to the UK to stand trial.
As the country prepares for the case to come before the courts, Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has disclosed that Tshuma entered South Africa through OR Tambo International Airport on July 5 without being detected because British authorities had not yet flagged him as a wanted fugitive.
