A key suspect in the murder of British businessman Campbell Scott dies by suicide while in hiding at a friend’s house in Dandora, Nairobi, in what appears to be a desperate attempt to evade justice as detectives intensify their pursuit of those involved in the crime.
Samuel Musembi Kamitu, who had been on the run since the discovery of Scott’s body in Makongo Forest, Makueni County, succumbed to injuries at the Kenyatta National Hospital after reportedly inflicting a deep stab wound on his neck, having first ingested an unidentified poisonous substance in what investigators believe was a premeditated effort to take his own life.
Authorities had been closing in on Musembi after linking him to the transportation of Scott’s body from Pipeline, Nairobi, to Makueni, with preliminary findings indicating that the 58-year-old Briton was murdered before his body was stuffed in a sack filled with pineapples in an attempt to disguise the crime and delay its detection.
Investigations suggest that Scott, who had arrived in Kenya for a business conference, was lured into a fraudulent deal by individuals posing as potential business partners, only for his whereabouts to become unknown on February 17, before his partially decomposed body was discovered five days later in a remote forested area in Makueni.
Authorities have since arrested two other suspects, Alex Mutua Kithuka and Albunus Mutinda Nzioki, who were arraigned in court last week after evidence linked them to attempts to access money from Scott’s bank accounts using his credit cards in Nairobi, Voi, and Mombasa, with detectives now piecing together the sequence of events leading up to the businessman’s death.
