Kenyan police seek three men in connection to Scot’s murder. Victim found in a sack near Nairobi forest.
Kenyan police are searching for three men connected to Scott’s death. The police are treating it as murder, and two people are already in custody.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations spoke, saying the men are hiding and are suspects in Scott’s brutal murder. His body was found February 22nd near Makongo Forest. Scott came to Kenya for a business conference.
Police named the suspects: Benard Mbunga Mbusu, Samuel Musembi Kamitu, and Alphonse Munyao Kilewa. Police shared their pictures online and asked for tips about their location.
Scott was last seen February 16th at a JW Marriot Hotel conference. His body was found in a forest southeast of Nairobi with his hands tied.
A Kenyan court ruled this week that two suspects can be held longer, for 21 days, allowing for further investigation. They appeared in court Monday.
Mr. Scott was reportedly from Dunfermline, Fife, and worked at Fico, a credit-scoring firm. Fico said they were saddened by his death, noting he helped grow their business and was kind and funny.
Kenyan police called it a heinous crime. A complex investigation is underway, and Britain’s Foreign Office is helping Scott’s family, working with Kenyan authorities.
