Overview
- Police forced entry to a house on Carnoustie Drive and found the bodies of a woman and two children on Monday, prompting a murder investigation.
- Bedfordshire Police have named Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma as the suspect and released CCTV showing him at Heathrow shortly before he left the country.
- Officers have launched an international hunt and publicly appealed for Tshuma to hand himself in while asking witnesses to report any activity around the house in the days before the discovery.
- The family described their 'unimaginable loss' in a statement asking for privacy, and neighbours, schools and local residents have left tributes at the scene.
- Investigators are coordinating with national and international agencies to trace the suspect and have warned there may be extradition and legal complications because Zimbabwe is not listed among UK treaty partners.
