A finance director at the publisher Faber & Faber has been killed at a beach resort in the African country, and his wife kidnapped.

It is believed David Tebbutt was shot dead by the hostage takers after he attempted to resist kidnap; according to reports, his wife Judith was taken to a speedboat to an unknown location.

The couple were at the start of their fortnight’s holiday at the Kiwayu resort, a two hour flight north of Nairobi.

The Foreign Office confirmed the news in a statement, and added it had deployed a consular team to the resort and is offering “all possible support” to the family.

“Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time,” the statement continued. “We are working to secure the safe and swift release of the British National who has been kidnapped and ask those involved to show compassion and release the individual immediately."
