Bedfordshire Police have launched a murder investigation after the bodies of a woman and two children were discovered at a property in Great Denham.   

Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, who also goes by the name of Mark, aged 45 and from Bedford, is believed to have left the country from Heathrow Airport on a British passport on Saturday 4 July. He is a British citizen of Zimbabwean heritage.  

Richard Fuller MP said:

Devastating news from Great Denham where a mother and her two children have been murdered.

I understand there are not believed to be any ongoing risks, but I appreciate Bedfordshire Police increasing their presence in the area to help reassure local residents.

I have spoken to the Chief Constable and he has my full confidence as he seeks to bring the perpetrator to justice.

Anyone who has any information about Tshuma or witnessed anything unusual or suspicious in the days leading up to Saturday, please do contact the Police. Any information, no matter how small, could be beneficial to this investigation.  

Any information can be reported via the Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) or via 101.
