Suspect in Campbell Scott Murder Dies by Suicide in Nairobi

Samuel Musembi, a suspect in the murder of British businessman Campbell Scott, has died by suicide at Kenyatta National Hospital. Musembi was involved in the police investigation regarding Scott’s murder, with evidence suggesting he was initially involved in transporting Scott’s body. An autopsy is planned to confirm the cause of death as authorities continue their investigation into other suspects.

The police in Nairobi have confirmed the death of Samuel Musembi, a suspect in the murder of British businessman Campbell Scott. Musembi reportedly died by suicide on Wednesday morning while receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital. He had previously attempted to poison himself before resorting to stabbing himself multiple times.

Musembi was accused of driving the vehicle that transported Scott’s body from Pipeline in Nairobi to Makongo Forest in Makueni County, where the remains were discovered on February 22. Scott had disappeared on February 17 after arriving in Kenya for a conference, with authorities alleging he was misled into a fraudulent business meeting prior to being murdered.

Prior to his death, Musembi was evading capture and had stayed at a relative’s home and then a friend’s house, who was unaware of his involvement in the crime. After the friend left for work, he found Musembi unconscious with signs of injury and blood at the scene, leading to his transfer to the hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.

The Director of Criminal Investigations, Mohamed Amin, announced that an autopsy would be performed to determine the exact cause of Musembi’s death. Musembi was one of three suspects wanted in connection with Scott’s murder, with other suspects including Benard Mbunga Mbusu and Alphonse Munyao Kilewa. Two suspects are already in custody, assisting with the ongoing investigation into Scott’s murder.

Investigators believe Scott was taken to Mutua’s home in Pipeline where he may have been killed. The suspects allegedly attempted to use Scott’s credit cards shortly after the crime before their arrest on March 1. It has been reported that Mbusu, who remains at large, has a known criminal history dating back to 2018.

In conclusion, Samuel Musembi, a suspect in the murder of Campbell Scott, died by suicide while being treated at Kenyatta National Hospital. His death occurred amid a police investigation into Scott’s murder, with ongoing efforts to capture other suspects. The case continues to unfold as authorities seek to determine the full circumstances surrounding Scott’s death and the involvement of various suspects.
