David Tebbutt, 58, a finance director at Faber & Faber, the publishing house based in Bloomsbury, is believed to have been shot dead while attempting to resist kidnap.
His wife Judith, 57, was taken hostage by the gunmen who are believed to have forced her on to a speedboat. It is not known where she is.
The couple, of Bishop's Stortford, Herts, were staying at the Kiwayu Safari Village, a resort that boasts 18 thatched cottages along a mile of sheltered private beach.
Rooms cost from £280 per person per night and visitors have included Tracey Emin, the artist, and Imelda Staunton, the actress.
The gunmen stormed the resort at about 4am yesterday. It is less than 30 miles from the border between Kenya and Somalia and it has been suggested that the attackers were Somali and possibly pirates.
