Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, the British citizen of Zimbabwean heritage wanted in connection with the deaths of his wife and two daughters in the United Kingdom, will remain in custody after the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday postponed his firearm case to 22 July.
British prosecutors have authorised three murder charges against Tshuma in connection with the deaths.

The postponement will allow South African authorities to verify Tshuma’s immigration and legal status in the country and give his legal team time to consult with him before further proceedings.

He was arrested during a joint operation involving the SAPS Interpol National Central Bureau, Crime Intelligence and the Organised Crime Investigation Unit.
