Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives arrested four more suspects linked to the murder of a British national and multiple robbery with violence incidents following an intelligence-led, multi-agency operation in Ukunda.
The operation was conducted by DCI officers drawn from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CR&IB) Headquarters, working jointly with their counterparts drawn from SCCIO Nyali and SCCIO Msambweni (Ukunda) on Saturday.
The suspects, Bernard Mbusu, Isaac Kinoti Kobia, Evans Muthengi Mutaki and Kelvin Mwangi Njoroge were apprehended at Ideal Apartments, Ukunda.
The arrests follow investigations into a robbery with violence incident involving an American national in Nyali and the earlier reported abduction and subsequent murder of British national Campbell Scott Alistair in February 2025, whose body was discovered in Mukuyuni along the Machakos–Wote road.
The suspects have also been forensically linked to another robbery with violence incident in Watamu, Malindi Sub-County.
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.
The scene was processed by CSI personnel, and the suspects, together with the recovered exhibits, are in custody at Nyali Police Station pending further investigations.
Scott, 58, was found dead in Makongo Forest, about 60 miles (96.5km) from Nairobi on 24 February, 2025.
Scott, from Dunfermline in Fife, was a senior director at the credit scoring firm FICO and had travelled to Nairobi for a conference prior to his disappearance.
He went missing after failing to meet with colleagues to deliver a presentation at the JW Marriott Hotel in the city’s Westlands area.
Scott was known to have visited the Havana nightclub the previous evening.
He had been taken to a property in the Pipeline area.
His body was later discovered in a pineapple sack with his hands bound.
A post-mortem examination into his death proved “inconclusive,” but pathologists said the injuries on his body were “too minor” to have resulted in his death.
Police initially arrested two men, a taxi driver and a nightclub waiter, believed to be among the last to see him alive.
Two other men were also arrested in Mombasa in connection with the case.
Police then launched an appeal to find three further men in connection with Scott’s death.
They were named as Benard Mbunga Mbusu and Alphonse Munyao Kilewa, also known as “Edu”.
The third man, Samuel Musembi Kamitu, has since died after being discovered unconscious at a friend’s house.
