Bali Regional Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya, in a press conference on Monday, conveyed that the seven foreign nationals had been named as suspects.
The verdict was the result of intensive investigations involving crime scene investigations at six different locations.
"After a lengthy investigation, we have named seven suspects, all of whom are foreign nationals," Adityajaya informed.
Meanwhile, the Director of General Criminal Investigation at the Bali Regional Police, Senior Commissioner I Gede Adhi Mulyawarman, explained that the case was divided into six crime scene clusters spread across four regions: Tabanan, Badung, Denpasar, and the dumping point for the body parts in Gianyar.
According to him, the murder was meticulously planned, as evidenced by the perpetrators' survey activities conducted one month prior to the incident.
"The culmination of the crime was the discovery of the victim's body parts on the beach in Sukawati, Gianyar. We suspect the execution took place at the fifth crime scene near Gianyar, given the numerous bloodstains found and the matching GPS data from the vehicle at that location," Mulyawarman conveyed.
While their identities have been confirmed, six of the seven suspects remain at large abroad, namely FN, RM, and DH from Ukraine; SM from Russia; and FA and NP from Kazakhstan.
Meanwhile, the perpetrator, CBG, a Nigerian citizen, has been apprehended by Immigration.
"Based on coordination with the National Police's International Relations Division and Interpol, we have pinpointed the temporary locations thought to be the fugitives' last whereabouts," Mulyawarman remarked.
He then added that CBG is suspected of being involved in providing vehicles and using fake passports.
Earlier, the discovery of human body parts at the Wos Teben River and Ketewel Beach in Gianyar District, shocked the public.
Police stated that based on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing, the body parts belonged to a Ukrainian citizen who was reported as the victim of an alleged kidnapping in Jimbaran, South Kuta.
