Nothabo Tshuma family burial in Zimbabwe after UK murders

A Zimbabwean mother, Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, and her two daughters, Natalie (15) and Nala (5), were found dead with head injuries at their home in Great Denham, near Bedford, England on 6 July. A UK inquest confirmed the cause of death and three murder charges were authorized against their husband, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who was arrested in Johannesburg, South Africa and is awaiting possible extradition to Britain.

The bodies were flown to Harare on an Ethiopian Airlines flight and then taken by road to Bulawayo, where a church service at Lobengula Brethren in Christ Church and a burial at Luveve Cemetery were scheduled for 4 August. Family spokesperson Leon Khumalo thanked the community for its support and confirmed the repatriation and funeral arrangements.
