A man is to be charged in connection with the murder of a Scottish businessman whose body was found in a sack in Kenya.
Campbell Scott, 58, was found dead in Makongo Forest, about 60 miles (96.5km) from Nairobi on 17 February.
Alex Mutua Kithuka is due to appear before the city’s High Court on Wednesday.
The country’s director of public prosecutions dropped a murder charge against another man, Albanus Mutinda, after he agreed to appear as a witness for the state in the case.
Kithuka was remanded in at Capitol Hill police station in Nairobi.
The High Court heard that Mutinda was required to assist investigators in the apprehension of two other suspects currently being sought by police.
The pair were arrested on 1 March, but a Kenyan court granted police permission to detain them both for 21 days on 3 March.
Officers are also working with Interpol to trace Mr Scott’s mobile phone and bank cards, which may have been used since his death.
Mr Scott, from Dunfermline in Fife, was a senior director at the credit scoring firm FICO and had travelled to Nairobi for a conference prior to his disappearance.
He went missing after failing to meet with colleagues to deliver a presentation at the JW Marriott Hotel in the city’s Westlands area.
Mr Scott was known to have visited the Havana nightclub the previous evening.
He had been taken to a property in the Pipeline district, about 9.3 miles (15km) from his hotel.
His body was later discovered in a pineapple sack with his hands bound.
A post-mortem examination into his death proved “inconclusive,” but pathologists said the injuries on his body were “too minor” to have resulted in his death.
Police initially arrested two men, a taxi driver and a nightclub waiter, believed to be among the last to see him alive.
Two other men were also arrested in Mombasa in connection with the case earlier this month.
One of those men is thought to be the owner of the Pipeline property Mr Scott was driven to, and where police believe he may have been killed.
Officers launched an appeal on 7 March to find three further men in connection with Mr Scott’s death.
They were named as Benard Mbunga Mbusu and Alphonse Munyao Kilewa, also known as “Edu”.
The third man, Samuel Musembi Kamitu, has since died after being discovered unconscious at a friend’s house.
