A man wanted in the UK on suspicion of murdering his wife and two children appears in a court in South Africa after being arrested there following an international manhunt. British authorities had been searching for Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, described in UK reporting as a British IT expert, after the deaths of a woman and her two daughters were reported at a £1.3 million home near Bedford, in Great Denham, on Monday. According to the UK Crown Prosecution Service, the man is charged with three counts of murder and is expected to face trial in the UK. The Guardian and other outlets report he is charged after being arrested on Friday in Kensington, a suburb of Johannesburg. South African police have said the arrest follows coordinated efforts between countries. Reporting also indicates UK authorities treat the case as a serious homicide and that the suspect was arrested as part of a multinational operation. He is due to be extradited to the UK to stand trial.
