Two court appearances scheduled for a man wanted by British police over the killings of his wife and two daughters have been delayed pending a mental health evaluation according to his defense.
Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma previously pleaded guilty to charges of illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of ammunition, he also pleaded guilty to an immigration offense for entering South Africa while he was a fugitive.
Tshuma appeared Wednesday before the Johannesburg magistrate court in South Africa where he told his defense he did not recall pleading guilty nor signing a plea agreement. “I told the court that, this is my situation now, he does not remember signing a plea agreement. So, we cannot move. In this circumstance, we cannot move,” said defense attorney Chrispin Machingura.
