A man wanted in Britain in connection with the deaths of his wife and daughters is arrested in South Africa, police say. Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, 45, is taken into custody in Kensington, Johannesburg, South African authorities announced in a statement on Friday. The Daily Record describes the arrest as the result of an “intensive operation” involving the South African Police Service (SAPS) Interpol National Central Bureau, Crime Intelligence, and the Organised Crime Investigation Unit.

The reports indicate that British authorities had sought Tshuma over the case in Bedfordshire, where his wife and two daughters were reported dead. The South African statement does not provide further details about the circumstances in Britain. Sources agree on the key points of identity, age, location of arrest, and the involvement of international and police investigative units. The case remains under investigation following the arrest, with authorities expected to follow legal processes related to extradition or other next steps.
