Suspect Alex Mutua denies killing British national Campbell Scott

While appearing before Justice James Wakiaga, Mutua was accused of committing the offence on February 16, 2025 in Pipeline, alongside other suspects.

The prosecution informed the court that they have filed an affidavit opposing bail and the court directed them to submit the affidavit within three days formally.

Additionally, the court ordered that a pre-bail report be prepared within 21 days. 

Mutua is expected to appear in court on June 17 for a pre-trial and a hearing on the bail application.

Scott was reported missing on February 17, 2025, before his decomposing body was discovered in Makongo Forest, Makueni.

It is believed the suspects tricked the British national, who was in Nairobi, into a business meeting before he disappeared on February 17, after which he was murdered.

One of the suspects wanted for his murder, Samuel Musembi Kamitu, is said to have attempted to take poison before stabbing himself to death in a hideout in Nairobi’s Dandora estate.

Other suspects still on the run are Alphonse Munyao Kilewa, alias Edu, and Bernard Mbunga Mbusu.

Mutua, alongside another suspect Albunus Mutinda Nzioki are helping with investigations.
