Found Deceased Kenya - Campbell Scott, 58, British businessmen, last seen leaving luxury hotel. Nairobi, Kenya, 17 Feb 25

[StillDiggin]

A major search is underway to find a British businessman who disappeared from his luxury hotel in Nairobi.
Campbell Scott, a senior director at listed data analytics company Fico, was reported missing on Monday night by a colleague with whom he travelled to the Kenyan city.
After arriving at the JW Marriott Hotel in the city centre on Sunday, Scott was last seen when he left the accommodation at around 11:15am on Monday.
His colleague was unable to reach the 58-year-old at 6pm, and was told by staff to call the police an hour later.
Hotel management, security and police officers then began searching for him, before the case was taken over by senior detectives who visited hotels and bars in the affluent Westlands neighbourhood to see if they could find any information about him.

So far, at least five people, including security guards and hotel staff, have given statements to police, according to The Times.

But there don't appear to be any leads yet, as officers have now requested help from Interpol to access Scott's phone records to find out if anyone contacted him before he disappeared.
The businessman, who joined Fico in 2014 from Experian UK, was due to attend a three-day workshop with senior officials from the UK, US and several African countries to discuss markets for new products.

ETA: Snipped...
...It is unclear whether his mobile has actually been located but having its number will allow investigations to be made regardless. Mr Scott worked for a company called FICO - the Fair Isaac Corporation based in Bozeman, Montana - whose website states it “is used by lenders to help make accurate, reliable, and fast credit risk decisions.”

Rest in peace, Campbell.
Usually in a robbery/kidnapping they keep the victim alive for a ransom ?
Wonder what the motive was, or just robbery and nothing else ?
Horrific.

Moo: they thought they had a rich gay business tourist. He was targeted and honey trapped. They saw him as subhuman.

Kenyan cops say Campbell Scott may have died after 'performance enhancing pill'

The 58-year-old Scots businessman vanished on a business trip to Nairobi after visiting a gay bar and a notorious slum. His body was later found stuffed in a sack full of pineapples

www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk

Detectives believe that the the people with the Dunfermline-born businessman at the time he died, panicked and decided to dispose of his body in order to try and deflect suspicion away from themselves.

NTV Kenya news reporter, Katherine Mwando told viewers: "Sources close to the investigation said Scott may not have been murdered. But rather may have suffered complications after consuming a performance enhancing pill."

She continued: "He may have developed these complications while at Pipeline Estate Nairobi, the last location he was seen alive. His injuries may not have been from a violent attack."

I dunno I’m not buying this.
