Missing British National Found Dead in Wote, Makueni County

Wote, Kenya – February 24, 2025. The body of Campbell Scott, a 58-year-old British businessman who was reported missing on February 17, has been discovered in a forest near Wote, Makueni County. Scott, originally from Dunfermline, Scotland, had traveled to Nairobi for a work conference and was last seen leaving his hotel with an unidentified man. His body was found on February 22, wrapped in a green sack and bound with rope, suggesting he was killed elsewhere before being dumped in the forest.

Local authorities have arrested two individuals in connection with Scott’s death: a taxi driver and a waiter from a club in Nairobi’s Westlands district. Investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the murder. A post-mortem examination is scheduled at Makueni County Referral to establish the exact cause of death.

The British High Commission in Nairobi is collaborating with Kenyan authorities and Interpol to assist in the investigation and provide support to Scott’s family.

As the investigation continues, authorities urge anyone with information related to the case to come forward to aid in bringing those responsible to justice.
