Campbell Scott, the British businessman who went missing in Westlands, Nairobi, last week, has been found dead.

Scott's death was confirmed by Makueni County Commander Alice Kimeli on Monday, February 24, after a decomposing body, suspected to belong to the Briton, was discovered in Makongo Forest-about 96 kilometres from where he was last seen.

The body was found stashed in a green sack by herders, and there was initial uncertainty as to whether it was that of the missing 58-year-old.

Notably, the body was badly decomposed, suggesting Scott may have died hours or possibly days before the discovery.
