His body was recovered found in a pineapple sack
Scott, whose body was found in a sack of pineapples, is feared to have been kidnapped and tortured before his eventual death.
Musembi is alleged to have driven a vehicle that carried Scott’s corpse from Pipeline Nairobi to Makongo Forest in Makueni county, Kenya, where he was found in the sack.
Prior to his suicide, he was alleged to have been hiding at a relative’s house in Dandora, Nairobi.
Detectives say he sought temporary accommodation at a friend’s house in Dandora, and told them that he needed some rest “far away from home” for unknown reasons.
The friend then went to work and left Musembi in the house with the rest of his family, and told his relatives Musembi looked “restless”.
When the friend returned, Musembi appeared to have locked the door from the inside.
He broke the door down to find Musembi lying on the bed with foam frothing out of his mouth and blood pouring from his neck.
Musembi appeared to have stabbed himself, and he was rushed to hospital.
After being denied from one hospital due to the injury being to serious, he was taken to Kenyatta National Hospital on Tuesday night, and died there on Wednesday morning.
Police said: “The heat on him was too much. He died by suicide.”
Director of Criminal Investigations Mohamed Amin confirmed Musembi had died by suicide.
Investigations have shown since that Musembi may have attempted to take poisonous substances in order to end his life, but then also stabbed himself when that did not work.
Two other suspects involved in Scott’s murder are still on the run, and are named as Bernard Mbunga Mbusu and Alphonse Munya Kilewa alias Edu.
