Four men have been arrested over the murder of a British businessman found dead inside a sack in Kenya.
Campbell Scott Alistair, 58, from Dunfermline, Fife, was found with his hands and legs bound with rope inside a pineapple sack in Makongo Forest, about 60 miles from the capital Nairobi last February.
Mr Scott, who was a senior director at the credit scoring firm FICO, had travelled to Nairobi for a conference before he disappeared.
He was reported missing after failing to meet colleagues to deliver a presentation at the JW Marriott Hotel.
His body was found by a cattle herder in the remote forest just days later.
Mr Scott visited the Havana nightclub the previous evening.
Police believe Scott he was taken to a property in the Pipeline district, a slum area, around 9 miles from his hotel.
Prosecutors think he was held there for some time while his kidnappers tried to take money from his bank accounts.
Kenyan detectives said the four suspects – Bernard Mbusu, Isaac Kinoti Kobia, Evans Muthengi Mutaki and Kelvin Mwangi Njoroge – were arrested following in Ukunda, a coastal town about 16 miles from Mombasa.
Authorities said the four have also been forensically linked to another violent robbery involving an American national in Nyali.
DCI Kenya added: “A search at the residence led to the recovery of stolen items, including an HP laptop, mobile phones, assorted foreign currencies, multiple credit cards, cheque books from various banks and PDQ machines.”
