Australian man and two children found dead in Kuta, Bali

An Australian man, Damien John Shaw, 56, and his two children, aged six and four, were found dead in a bungalow in Kuta, Bali, on Sunday morning. Bali Provincial Police are investigating the incident as a possible murder-suicide. The mother, who was in Jakarta at the time, reportedly asked neighbors to perform a welfare check after a phone call with her husband disconnected. Preliminary findings from an external examination suggest the two children died as a result of violent acts. Western Australian Premier Roger Cook offered condolences, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing assistance to the family.

The neighbor, accompanied by local residents, forced entry into the property after receiving no response. Police have not yet determined the cause or manner of death, and further examinations are planned. Shaw was originally from Fremantle, Western Australia.
