Prosecutors allege Tshuma killed his 42-year-old wife and their daughters, Natalie, 15, and Nala, 5, before fleeing to South Africa, where he was arrested earlier this month. An inquest into the deaths of Tshuma’s wife, Nothabo Zandile Tshuma, and their two daughters was formally opened and adjourned by Coroner Emma Whitting during a hearing in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, on Tuesday. Family members and the community are mourning the loss of Nothabo Zandile Tshuma and her daughters. Jo Webster, headteacher of Pilgrims Pre Prep School, also honored Nala, saying:“Nala was a much-loved member of our school community who brought joy to those around her every day.
