The body of a Scottish businessman has been found days after he vanished in Kenya.

Campbell Scott, 58, had been in the country to attend a conference at the JW Marriot Hotel in Nairobi but disappeared on February 16.

A taxi driver and nightclub waiter have been arrested on suspicion of Mr Scott’s abduction and murder.

Mr Scott, who was born in Dunfermline, was last seen wearing a Scotland rugby shirt and cargo shorts.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations believe Mr Scott visited a gay bar in the city’s upmarket Westlands area the day before he vanished.

They say he returned there the following day to meet a friend before taking a taxi to Pipeline, one of the largest slums in the city, at around 7pm.

Police think he was held at a house there, most likely while his captors attempted to drain money from his bank account, The Times reports.

Mr Scott’s body was found dumped in a green sack by animal herders in the Makongo forest around 60 miles from the capital on February 22.

He was a senior director at credit scoring firm Fico.

His employer said police had identified a body and were investigating.

A spokesperson said: ‘Fico can confirm that Nairobi police have identified the body of Campbell Scott, a Fico employee.

‘Campbell went missing last Sunday while on a business trip to Nairobi. We are not sharing further details as the investigation is in the hands of the police.

‘We are devastated by this tragic news. Campbell was a leader in our international Scores business.

‘He joined Fico in 2014 and was instrumental in introducing Scores to new markets and growing our business with existing partnerships.

‘We mourn his passing and will miss his humour and kindness.

‘Our thoughts are with Campbell’s family and friends.’
