The Directorate of Criminal Investigations is seeking information from the public that will lead to the arrest of three key suspects in the murder of a British national, Campbell Scott.
According to the DCI’s homicide team, the suspects, Benard Mbunga Mbusu, Samuel Musembi Kamitu, and Alphonse Munyao Kilewa alias Edu, are linked to the brutal murder of the 58-year-old, whose decomposing body was discovered in Makongo Forest, Makueni.
It is believed that the suspects duped the British national, who was in Nairobi, into attending a business meeting before disappearing on February 17 and being murdered.
So far police are holding two suspects, Alex Mutua Kithuka and Albunus Mutinda Nzioki who are believed to have lured the British national to a house in Pipeline belonging to Alex Mutua where investigators believe he was killed before his body was discarded in Makueni.
The body was discovered by a local herder grazing goats near Makongo Forest along the Machakos-Wote Road.
Authorities found the victim bound at the hands and legs, placed inside a green nylon sack, and dumped in a ditch about 500 meters from Makongo Forest Viewpoint. The herder immediately reported the matter to the local chief, who alerted Mukuyuni Police Station.
Detectives also uncovered multiple withdrawal attempts from the victim’s bank accounts in Nairobi, Voi, and Mombasa, raising suspicions of a financial motive behind the killing.
As investigations intensified, police arrested two key suspects along the Nairobi-Machakos Road on March 1, 2025.
A post-mortem examination was conducted on February 27, 2025, by government pathologists Dr. Richard Njoroge and Dr. Samuel Omuok, though the exact cause of death is still under investigation.
