South African authorities on Friday apprehended Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who is accused of killing his wife and two daughters in Britain.

Athlenda Mathe, a spokesperson for the South African Police Service, confirmed Tshuma's arrest in a televised statement. British police had previously issued a warrant for Tshuma, a British citizen of Zimbabwean descent, in connection with the deaths at a Bedford residence.
