A court in Johannesburg on Thursday postponed the extradition hearing of British man of Zimbabwean heritage wanted in the UK for the murders of his wife and two daughters.

The case will now return to court as South African authorities continue the process that could determine whether Tshuma is extradited to Britain to face the allegations there.

The NPA says it is ready to proceed with the extradition and firearm cases against Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who is wanted in Britain for three murders.
