Bali Police are still investigating the deaths of lovers from China, Li Chiming (25) and Cheng Jianan (22), who were found dead in the room of the Intercontinental Jimbaran Hotel, South Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali.

"It is still under investigation and a crime scene investigation has been carried out. For developments, it is still not possible that in the near future it will also be conveyed from the Denpasar Police to release the case," said Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Stefanus Satake Bayu Setianto, Thursday, May 4.

The two bodies of Chinese foreigners are currently at Prof Ngoerah Hospital or Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. The police have contacted the Chinese consulate and forwarded it to the victim's family and allowed for an autopsy.

"We have contacted the consulate, then the consulate told his family that the chronology of the incident was explained. His parents did agree to the autopsy. I don't know whether the two were autopsied yet. The point is that the parents agreed," he added.

Two Chinese foreigners, Li Chiming (25) and Cheng Jianan (22) were previously found dead covered in blood in an InterContinental hotel room in Badung, Bali, Monday (1/5) by hotel officials. The bodies of the two were found at around 07.00 WITA.

Meanwhile, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the South Kuta Police, AKP Anak Agung Made Suantara, confirmed that there was a wound on the victim's neck. However, the police have not confirmed the chronology of the discovery of the victim's body because they have to wait for the results of the investigation in the form of examining witnesses and evidence found at the crime scene in the form of CCTV footage.

He also denied that there was a motive for the theft in the incident because a number of items belonging to the victim were still safe.

"The results of the temporary development have no indication of theft, no missing items. A number of valuables are still there," he said.

Suantara said there were several witnesses examined in the case who came from the five-star hotel where the bodies of two foreigners were found and were temporarily questioned. The witnesses were questioned at the South Kuta Police Headquarters and Denpasar Police.

"There is CCTV and a number of other clues. Whether it was due to murder or suicide, we are still investigating," he said.

In this case, the bodies of the two Chinese foreigners were found in different places where Li Chiming was found lying in a hotel bathroom bathtub, while Cheng Jianan lay on the terrace of the hotel corridor in a supine position on the hotel floor.
