Police hunt for three suspects after a Scottish man was found dead in a forest near Nairobi.
Police are treating his death as murder. They arrested two people so far. Three more men are on the run. Police are looking for them now. They believe these three are hiding.
Detectives say the suspects murdered Scott and dumped his body in the forest. Scott, age 58, was British. They found him February 22, 2025, after he had arrived to attend a business conference.
The suspects are Benard Mbunga Mbusu and Samuel Musembi Kamitu. Alphonse Munyao Kilewa, also known as Edu, is wanted too. Police shared photos on social media and ask anyone with info to contact them.
Scott attended a conference February 16 at the JW Marriot Hotel. His body was found in a sack in a forest 66 miles from Nairobi. His hands were tied when they found him.
A Kenyan court ruled this week that they can hold two suspects for 21 days. This allows more time for police to investigate, since the pair appeared in Milimani court on Monday and are linked to Scott’s death.
Scott worked for Fico as a senior director. He was from Dunfermline, Fife. Fico said they were devastated. He helped grow their business a lot.
Fico said they will miss him a lot and remembered his humor and kindness. The company sends condolences to family. Kenyan police called it a heinous crime, adding it is a complex investigation.
The Foreign Office is helping Scott’s family. They are talking with Kenyan authorities and confirmed a British man died in Kenya.
