Campbell Scott, 58, a senior director at the data analytics company Fico, went missing on 16 February after arriving in the Kenyan capital to attend a conference at the JW Marriott hotel.
The Nation Africa website reported that the body had been confirmed as that of Scott, originally from Dunfermline, by county police commander Alice Kimeli, and that a postmortem would be carried out at Makueni county referral hospital mortuary.
Scott was reported missing by colleagues with whom he had been due to attend a three-day workshop beginning on 18 February, hosted by TransUnion, with senior officials from the UK, US and several African countries.
Capital News in Kenya reported that detectives from the country’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said Scott was last seen at a club in the upmarket Westlands area of the city before he vanished.
DCI believe Scott visited a bar in the area the day before his disappearance and that he returned to the venue on the day he disappeared to meet a friend, before taking a taxi to Pipeline, one of the city’s biggest slums, shortly after 7pm.
