Denham murders: Zimbabwe police 'on alert' after international manhunt sparked for missing father

► Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, and her two daughters, Natalie, 15, and Nala, five, were found dead on Monday in their home near Bedford, Great Denham. An international manhunt was sparked after the disappearance of husband and father, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma. Mrs Tshuma aunt, Beatrice Khumalo, told 5 News how “devastated” the family is, saying, "It’s a nightmare you want to wake up from”. “Nothabo was a daughter who was loved, who was raised well. An intelligent girl, who knew that the sky was the limit. Who raised her children well to be the best they could be.” Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who also goes by the name of Mark, was captured on CCTV at Heathrow Airport on 4 July on his way to Zimbabwe, appearing to flee the UK. Zimbabwe police have told British authorities that they are on the alert and ready to make an arrest, and have encouraged Mr Tshuma to surrender himself to police. Detective Inspector Lee Martin, senior investigating officer, said: “We have been carrying out numerous lines of enquiry as part of this fast-paced, complex investigation. "We know that Mark Tshuma left the country on Saturday and is now believed to be in Zimbabwe. We are urgently working to find and apprehend him, and would appeal to him directly to hand himself in." #crime #police ► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - https://twitter.com/5_News Message us on Facebook to share your opinion - https://www.facebook.com/c5News See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/c5news/ ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
