ali Police officers conducted reconstructions of the events surrounding the murder of police officer First Adj. Insp. Wayan Sudarsa with the two suspects, Australian Sara Connor and Briton David James Taylor, on Wednesday.
The reconstructions took place at three locations: Kuta beach where Wayan's body was found, at the Kubu Kauh inn on Jl. Lebak Bena in Kuta and at the Puri Gading housing complex in Jimbaran, Denpasar police chief Sr. Comr. Hadi Purnomo said on Wednesday. The reconstructions went smoothly, he said as reported by kompas.com.
Connor and Taylor allegedly argued and fought with Wayan on the famous beach after accusing him of stealing Connor's bag. His corpse was found in the early hours of Aug. 16 on Kuta Beach covered in bruises.
After conducting reconstructions on Kuta Beach, police personnel and the suspects moved to the inn where the couple had stayed. After that they went to the third location: an empty plot in the Puri Gading housing complex – around 13 kilometers from Kuta Beach – where the suspects allegedly burned their shirts that were stained with blood from the fight.
The two were named suspects on Aug. 20 and are being charged with murder and assault under the Criminal Code. If found guilty, they could face 15 years’ imprisonment. (rin)
