British Businessman Found Dead in Kenyan Forest After Disappearance

Campbell Scott, 58, was discovered tied and stuffed in a sack, with police investigating suspected abduction and murder during his Nairobi business trip.

  • Campbell Scott, a senior director at credit scoring firm Fico, went missing on February 16 during a business trip to Nairobi, Kenya.
  • His body was found on February 22 in the Makongo Forest, approximately 60 miles southeast of Nairobi, by a cattle herder who alerted authorities.
  • Initial investigations suggest Scott was strangled, with his hands and legs tied before being placed in a sack; a postmortem is underway to confirm the cause of death.
  • Two suspects, a taxi driver and a nightclub waiter, have been detained by Kenyan police for questioning, as they were reportedly among the last to see Scott alive.
