Police yet to unravel mystery of tourist murder and suicide
The body was taken to the Malindi Sub-County Hospital mortuary for post-mortem examination.
INVESTIGATIONS
Malindi Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Anthony Sunguti said police have launched investigations into the incident.
Last year, 71-year-old Italian businessman Edmond Buffa, who had lived in Malindi for 20 years operating the former Tusker Safari, a tourists' advisory company, committed suicide inside a car.
Police said Mr Buffa locked himself inside the car before setting it ablaze at the beach near Malindi Casino.
