The body of a murdered Scottish businessman was found in a bag by a Kenyan cattle shepherd days after he was missing in his hotel.
Campbell Scott, 58, arrived in the prosperous Westlands district in Nairobi for a business trip on 15 February. He was last seen the next night with a non -created man who had been to a nightclub.
The BBC has learned that his body was found about 60 miles (96.5 km) outside of Nairobi in a forest. His hands and legs were bound with rope.
Local police have arrested two people – a taxi driver and a waiter from the club – who may have been one of the last to see him alive.
Mr. Scott, from Dunfermline in Fife, was a senior director at Credit Score company Fico.
He went to a conference at the JW Marriott Hotel in Nairobi and would meet colleagues to discuss a presentation.
When he did not return to the hotel on February 16, colleagues tried to call him, but could not reach him.
They submitted a police report and a search was started, in which Interpol participated in the investigation later.
On Saturday, the police received a report that a cattle remark had seen a body in a bag that was later identified as Mr. Scott.
It is expected that a post-mortem exam will be carried out later on Tuesday.
The deputy Africa editor Anne Soy of the BBC said that the apparent murder has surprised the local community.
She told the good morning scotland program of the BBC: “It is unusual, especially since the victim is a foreigner who had just arrived in the country.
“He would meet other business people for what looks like legitimate things. That really surprised people.
“There are really no theories about what could have happened. The employer has asked people not to speculate about problems surrounding his death.”
Mr. Scott studied at Woodmill High School in Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy Technical College and went to work for a number of companies before he came to Fico.
A spokeswoman for the company confirmed his death on Monday and said that the staff was “destroyed” by the news.
She added: “Campbell was a leader in our international scores.
“He came to Fico in 2014 and played an important role in introducing scores into new markets and growing our company with existing partnerships. We mourn his death and will miss his humor and kindness.
“Our thoughts are at Campbell's family and friends. We ask that the media respect their privacy.”
The British Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “We support the family of a British man who died in Kenya and is in contact with the local authorities.”
