Woman’s body found stuffed in suitcase in Bali

The body of a 62-year-old American woman was found stuffed inside a suitcase on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, and authorities arrested her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend in relation to the death, police said.

The suitcase containing Sheila von Wiese-Mack’s body was found on Tuesday inside the boot of a taxi parked in front of the St. Regis Bali Resort in the island’s upscale Nusa Dua area, said Colonel Djoko Hari Utomo, the police chief in Bali’s capital, Denpasar.

Ms Von Wiese-Mack’s 19-year-old daughter, Heather Mack, and her 21-year-old boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, were arrested yesterday at a hotel in Bali’s Kuta area, about 10 kilometres away, Mr Utomo said.
