The South African Police Service (SAPS) on Friday confirmed the arrest of murder suspect, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who is wanted for the murder of his wife and two daughters in the United Kingdom.
"The South African Police Service has arrested Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma in Kensington, Johannesburg, following an intensive operation involving the SAPS Interpol National Central Bureau, Crime Intelligence and the Organised Crime Investigation Unit.
"Tshuma is wanted by authorities in the United Kingdom in connection with the murder of his wife, Nothabo Zandile Tshuma (42), and their two daughters, Natalie (15) and Nala (5), whose bodies were discovered at their home near Bedford,” the police said in a statement.
The Acting National Commissioner of the SAPS, Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane, has commended officers involved in the operation for their swift and coordinated response.
"This arrest demonstrates that South Africa is not a safe haven for fugitives. Anyone who believes they can evade justice by fleeing to our country should know that SAPS will work tirelessly with international law enforcement partners to trace, locate and arrest them," Lieutenant General Dimpane said.
The suspect is expected to appear in court on Monday. -SAnews.gov.za
