Campbell Scott, the 58-year-old senior director at FICO, a London-based data analytics company has been discovered dead in a bush.
The corporate foreigner had been missing for nearly two weeks. Scott had arrived in Kenya for a three-day conference and was last seen on Sunday, February 16, walking out of the JW Marriott hotel in Westlands.
CCTV footage from the hotel showed Scott leaving and returning on Saturday, February 15, and again walking out on Sunday morning. His colleagues, who had expected to meet him later in the day, grew concerned when he did not return.
Attempts to reach him by phone were unsuccessful, prompting a missing person report to be filed by his colleague, Michael Edward, at Parklands police station on Sunday evening.
A police search, including visits to various bars and hotels in Westlands, yielded no information on Scott’s whereabouts until today when his body was discovered in a forest at Wote, Makueni County.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had also sought assistance from Interpol to locate the missing Briton before the discovery of his body in Makueni.
