NAIROBI CRIME: Two suspects linked to the murder of the British national, Alex Mutua and Albanus Mutinda have been detained for the next 21 days as the prosecution finalizes the investigations.

The du was arrested on March 1, 2025 days after the decomposing body of Campbell Scott was discovered in Makueni County.

The two appeared before a Milimani Court where they did not take plea.

An autopsy on the body of Scott, conducted by the government pathologist, turned inconclusive.

Officials said soft tissue injuries found on Scott’s body are deemed too minor to kill him.

This forced the pathologists to pick samples for further tests. The autopsy was conducted on the body of Scott at a mortuary in Makueni  last Thursday.

This threw investigators to the drawing board in their quest to establish the cause of the death.

The autopsy was conducted by Government Pathologist Dr. Richard Njoroge.

His family was present. The autopsy failed to reveal what caused his death, forcing them to pick samples for tests at the government chemist.

The police had earlier found injuries to suggest he was strangled or hit by a blunt object.

According to police, after disposing of his body in a forest in Makueni, the suspect proceeded to Mombasa, where they have been hiding.

Police also believe those who killed him were after his money.

They had held him for days in a house in Pipeline area in Nairobi before they killed him and transported the body to Makongo forest where it was discovered on February 22.
