The Denpasar District Court sentenced on Tuesday US citizens Tommy Schaefer and his partner, Heather Lois Mack, to 18 years and 10 years in prison, respectively, for killing Mack's mother.
Schaefer, 21, and Mack, 19, were charged under Article 340 of the Criminal Code on premeditated murder.
The body of the victim, 62-year-old Sheila Ann von Wiese-Mack, was stuffed into a suitcase and put into a taxi trunk on Aug. 12, 2014, by the young couple in Nusa Dua, where the three had been vacationing.
Your comments:
The sentences are too light. They deserve a more severe sentence. Even so, it should be borne in mind that drug trafficking may not kill people directly, but it kills many tens of thousands indirectly. Seriously, everybody knows that!

If you want to murder someone, go to Bali. That daughter and boyfriend only got 10 and 18 years respectively? They deserve far, far more.

Killers here in Canada often get less time in jail.
