Family 'crushed' by deaths of mum and daughters

Relatives have paid tribute to a mother and her two children found dead in their home, saying they were "broken-hearted and crushed in spirit" at the news.

Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, 42, and her daughters Natalie, 15, and Nala, five, were found dead in Great Denham, near Bedford, on 6 July.

A service of remembrance for them had been due to take place at St James Church in Biddenham on Sunday, but the church said expected turnout was "far beyond what we can safely accommodate".

Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, 45, was arrested in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Friday on suspicion of murdering his wife and two children.
