The investigation into the murder of British businessman Campbell Scott has taken a dramatic turn, with reports emerging that Samuel Musembi, the key suspect in the crime, has reportedly died by suicide in Dandora, Nairobi. The news of his death raises more questions as police allege that Musembi, who had been on the run, was the driver of the vehicle that transported Scott’s body from Pipeline, Nairobi, to Makongo Forest in Makueni, where the remains were later discovered.
Scott, 58, a well-known figure in the business community, was found dead in early March 2025, triggering widespread concern and condemnation. His body was reportedly dumped in Makongo Forest after being transported from the heart of Nairobi. Investigators soon linked Musembi to the murder, claiming he had been involved in the logistics of moving Scott’s body.
Authorities believe that Musembi’s role in the crime went beyond just driving the vehicle. However, details surrounding the circumstances of Scott’s death remain under investigation. Police allege that Musembi was part of a group of individuals who may have orchestrated Scott’s murder, although no clear motive has been established at this point.
Musembi, who had been on the run for several days, reportedly died under unclear circumstances in Dandora, a suburb of Nairobi. While initial reports suggest that his death may have been a suicide, the police have not yet confirmed this and are continuing to investigate the cause of death. The timing of his death has raised suspicions, as he was considered the prime suspect in the high-profile murder case.
The death of Musembi could complicate the ongoing investigation, leaving several unanswered questions. Investigators were hopeful that he could provide crucial information that would help authorities understand the motive behind the murder of Scott and possibly identify other individuals involved in the crime. With Musembi’s reported death, the chances of uncovering the full truth behind Scott’s killing may be significantly hindered.
The murder of Campbell Scott has shocked the local and international community, particularly the business community, where Scott was a prominent figure. His family, who have been left devastated by his tragic death, are now forced to cope with the loss while still seeking justice for the brutal crime.
The police have pledged to continue their efforts to investigate Scott’s murder and any individuals linked to the crime. They have also urged the public to come forward with any information that could shed light on the events surrounding the businessman’s death. Despite the setback caused by the death of Musembi, authorities remain determined to uncover the truth.
For now, the mystery surrounding Campbell Scott’s murder deepens, and the city of Nairobi waits for answers.
