The 45-year-old IT Specialist also faces an unlawful possession of a firearm charge.
Ndodana Tshuma, a 45-year-old IT specialist from Johannesburg, South Africa, is set to return to the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court, according to state prosecutor Lourain Kgaditsi. Tshuma is accused of murdering his wife, Zandile, and their two daughters, 15-year-old Natalie and 5-year-old Nala, in the United Kingdom last month.
He was arrested in Kensington, Johannesburg, a few days after the alleged murders, where he was reportedly found with a firearm. The prosecutor also mentioned that Tshuma faces an unlawful possession of a firearm charge in South Africa. South African authorities are handling a provisional extradition request from the UK. The court heard the matter this morning in Court 16, with the next scheduled date being August 27th. Tshuma's bodies are expected to be repatriated to Zimbabwe.
