Police in Kenya arrested six men in connection with the murder of Campbell Bridges according to a Telegraph (UK) report.

The men were arrested near where Bridges’s family mined rare gemstones and are reported to have knowledge of the other attackers.

Bridges, the 71-year-old Scottish geologist who discovered tsavorite, was murdered by a mob in Kenya Tuesday over a dispute over mining rights in southeastern Kenya at a mine in the Taita Taveta District in Tsavo National Park.
