A British businessman was murdered in Kenya – dumped with his body in a bag of pineapple and left on Scruband.
Animal herders found the remains of Campbell Scott, 58, more than 80 miles of his Nairobi Hotel – with his hands and legs tied with rope.
Local manager Thomas Maitha revealed that the injuries suggested that Mr. Scott seemed to have been 'tortured'.
He said that the body, located in an area known as Makongo Forest, was in such a bad condition that it “led us to escalate the matter.”
Mr Maitha added: “The murderers had tied his hands from behind and filled the body in the bag full of ripe pineapple.”
Local media claimed that a taxi driver and nightclub Ober have been arrested.
Mr. Scott, from Dunfermline in Fife, was a senior director -based senior director at the American credit company Fico.
He had flown to the East African country for a conference on 15 February and stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel in the chic Westlands environment of the capital.

Security camera images showed him apparently relaxed and jovial on the day he arrived.
Local media reported that he left the hotel the next day at 11.15 am – and that was the last time he was seen alive.
Colleagues thought he was going to take a walk to shake the jet lag, but reported him missing that evening.
His body was found on Saturday, six days later. A spokesperson for Fico said, “We will miss his humor and kindness.”
Colleague Toni Harridge described him as a man with a 'big heart' and added: “Campbell was bigger than life, lively with a dry sense of humor that everyone made him loved.”
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “We support the family.”
