Overview
- Kenya’s investigative agency named Bernard Mbusu, Isaac Kinoti Kobia, Evans Muthengi Mutaki and Kelvin Mwangi Njoroge after an intelligence-led raid in the coastal town of Ukunda.
- A magistrate in Mombasa remanded the four for 14 days as officers seek CCTV footage, bank records and forensic checks on their mobile phones.
- Searches at their residence turned up laptops, phones, foreign cash, many bank cards, cheque books and card readers, and investigators say forensic work links the group to other violent robberies on the coast.
- Prosecutors are examining claims that Scott was abducted to Nairobi’s Pipeline district and that the attackers tried to take money from his bank accounts.
- The government pathologist called the post-mortem inconclusive, noting injuries too minor to explain how Scott, 58, was found bound in a pineapple sack in Makongo Forest after he vanished during a Nairobi work trip.
