Fugitive suspect wanted over murder of Brit businessman Campbell Scott stabs himself to death while on the run in Kenya
A fugitive suspect wanted for the murder of a British businessman has stabbed himself to death while on the run in Kenya.
Campbell Scott was found dead in a forest in February after he went missing in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.
Police in the country then launched a manhunt with Samuel Musembi being one the suspects law enforcers were searching for.
Musembi is believed to have stabbed himself multiple times after he first attempted to poison himself, the Kenyan publication Nation reported.
He was believed to have been in hiding where he was staying at a friend’s house who was unaware of what he had done.
Once he learnt of his crime he reported him to the police.
On Tuesday evening when the friend returned home from work he discovered the front door was locked.
Once he managed to force his way inside he discovered Musembi unconscious on the bed.

Samuel Musembi, a suspect in the killing of Mr Scott, is believed to have stabbed himself to death after he first attempted to poison himself
He was rushed to hospital where he later died from his injuries.
An autopsy will be carried out to conclude the exact cause of death.
Musembi was one of three men wanted for the murder of Mr Scott.
Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations said it is hunting the men who have ‘fled and gone into hiding’ following the ‘heinous crime and subsequent dumping of his body’.
The directorate named the other suspects as Benard Mbunga Mbusu and Alphonse Munyao Kilewa, alias Edu as the other two suspects.
They were arrested a year ago for abducting and blackmailing a church pastor.
Last February the Directorate of Criminal investigations said Mbusu, Musembi and Kilewa targeted a pastor as he walked to a restaurant in Nairobi.
It was claimed they kidnapped him, tore his clothes off and threatened to embarrass him by releasing photographs of him online.

Two other people have also been arrested in connection with the crime.
Detectives revealed the gang managed to extort 55,000 Kenyan shillings – around £330 – from him during the attack.
The directorate said: ‘The suspects are linked to the brutal murder of 58-year-old Briton Campbell Scott, whose partially decomposed body was found on February 22, 2025 in Makongo Forest, Makueni sub-county.
‘Scott had arrived in the country just days earlier to attend a business conference.’
It has posted images of them on social media site X and urged anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact them.
Mr Scott was last seen attending a conference at the JW Marriot Hotel in Nairobi on February 16.
His body was found in a sack in a forest around 66 miles south-east of Nairobi over the weekend of February 22, with his hands tied.
Earlier this week a court in Kenya ruled two suspects in the murder inquiry can be held for 21 days for further police investigations.

Reports indicate the pair appeared in court in Milimani on Monday, after being arrested in connection with the death of Mr Scott.
Mr Scott, from Dunfermline, Fife, was a senior director at credit-scoring firm Fico.
After his death was confirmed, a Fico spokesperson said: ‘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.’
A spokesman for the National Police Service of Kenya described it as a ‘heinous, heinous crime’ and said it is an ‘intricate and complex’ investigation being led by the country’s homicide unit.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said previously: ‘We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Kenya and are in contact with the local authorities.’

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
