A 45-year-old Zimbabwean-born IT manager, Ndodana "Mark" Tshuma, is wanted by police in the UK after his wife, Zandile Tshuma (42), and their two daughters, Natalie (15) and Nala (5), were found dead at their home in Bedford.
Police say Tshuma left the UK on Saturday and flew to Zimbabwe. CCTV footage captured him at Heathrow Airport shortly before the bodies were discovered. Authorities are now working with international agencies to locate him and have urged him to surrender to the police.
Friends of the family said Zandile had decided to end the marriage and was planning to start a new life with her daughters. They said the couple had been experiencing marital problems for some time and were preparing to divorce, including arranging for their ยฃ1.3 million home to be valued for sale. Some friends described Mark as controlling and said he did not want the marriage to end.
Zandile was a successful financial crime and anti-money laundering specialist who had worked for major organisations, including Barclays and KPMG. She was also active in fraud prevention work and had a strong professional reputation.
Police have described the case as a complex investigation and said there is no indication of any wider threat to the public. The family, originally from Zimbabwe, had lived in Bedford since 2011 and were well known in their community.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are continuing efforts to locate Tshuma and establish exactly what happened.

This thing of sharing locations with a partner is the highest form of control freak to ever exist because why would you have a need to know another personโs movements that much, unless your goal is to control them?
There are pirated copies of #ThePolygamist being sold at Affordable Books in Nairobi along Ronald Ngala Street. I know the book is in demand & I'm working to make it available there through a reputable supplier. Copyright infringement is a crime. Don't support the violation!
RIP Sino ๐๐๏ธ I'm shocked and saddened by the news that our DA ward candidate in Dunoon, Sinovuyo Dyokwe, was murdered today during our voter registration activities.
Sino was an energetic activist and helped the DA to its best-ever growth result in a recent by-election where she was our candidate. Residents in the community loved Sino and she could always be found walking the streets of Dunoon helping improve services.
I pray the police find those responsible for her death quickly.
