Mary McCool reported that a Scottish businessman, Campbell Scott, was found dead in Kenya after going missing from his hotel. Campbell arrived in the affluent Westlands district of Nairobi on a business trip and was last seen with an unidentified man after a night out at a nightclub. His body was discovered in a forest about 60 miles outside of Nairobi, with his hands and legs bound with rope.
Local authorities in Kenya have arrested a taxi driver and a waiter from the club who were among the last people to see Campbell alive.
