Four arrested in Ukunda over murder of British national Campbelle Scott
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of a British national and a series of violent robberies in Ukunda, Kwale County.
The suspects, Bernard Mbusu, Isaac Kinoti Kobia, Evans Muthengi Mutaki and Kelvin Mwangi Njoroge, were apprehended at Ideal Apartments in Ukunda during a coordinated security operation led by officers from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau (CRIB).
“The operation was conducted by DCI officers drawn from the CR&IB Headquarters, working jointly with their counterparts drawn from SCCIO Nyali and SCCIO Msambweni (Ukunda),” said the DCI in a statement on X.
A search conducted at the residence led to the recovery of a range of suspected stolen property, among them an HP laptop, mobile phones, various foreign currencies, several credit cards, cheque books from different 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,” said the DCI.

According to the DCI, detectives began trailing the suspects after a February 2025 incident in which British national Campbell Scott Allistair was abducted and later found dead in Makueni County.
Scott was reported missing on February 17, 2025, after failing to meet colleagues for a scheduled presentation at the JW Marriott Hotel in Nairobi’s Westlands area. His remains were later discovered in a sack in Makongo Forest, Makueni County. Two suspects were arrested and later arraigned in connection with the incident at the time.
“The arrests follow investigations into a robbery with violence incident involving a British 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 DCI said.
According to the DCI, forensic evidence has similarly implicated the suspects in a separate violent robbery incident in Malindi County.
“The suspects have also been forensically linked to another robbery with violence incident in Watamu, Malindi Sub-County,” said the DCI.
The suspects remain in custody pending arraignment.
