Authorities say Scott was last seen leaving his hotel with an unidentified man before taking a taxi to a Nairobi residential area. His body was later found in a remote location, 110 kilometers from the capital.<\/p>\n

A taxi driver involved in the case remains in custody, assisting investigators. Meanwhile, an autopsy was inconclusive, and toxicology tests are ongoing. The court has scheduled the next hearing for March 24.<\/p>\n
