Bali newsBali4 min read
Bali’s narcotics agency has arrested a man after intercepting a package containing suspected drugs concealed inside a used motorcycle exhaust. The suspect, identified as GAS, also known as Boing, was arrested at his Denpasar residence on Jalan Taman Pancing on Friday, July 31, after receiving the package. The Bali Provincial National Narcotics Agency BNNP Bali initiated the operation after Indonesia’s Customs and Excise agency flagged a suspicious package bound for Denpasar. During a search, officers found 19 vape cartridges suspected of containing etomidate and 11.12 grams of cannabis in the motorcycle exhaust. A subsequent search of GAS's room uncovered 64.5 ecstasy pills and three sachets of a liquid suspected to be “happy water.” BNNP Bali chief Brigadier General Putu Putera Sadana stated that GAS admitted to being instructed by a man named Sungap, reportedly living in Cambodia, to collect the package, which was allegedly sent by "Bang Gogon" from Medan. The suspect and seized items are currently at the BNNP Bali office for further investigation.

Australian tourist dies in fall from Kelingking Beach cliff in Bali
A 29-year-old Australian tourist from Queensland died after falling from a 180-meter-high cliff at Kelingking Beach on Nusa Penida, an island east of Bali. Emergency responders found her body on the beach with multiple broken bones and other injuries. Due to high waves, her body was carried up the steep, narrow staircase along the cliff over approximately 1.5 hours. The tourist reportedly slipped while trying to reach the cliff's edge. Kelingking Beach, also known as "T-Rex Bay," is a popular attraction, but its descent is considered a challenging hike. An elevator to the beach was built by late last year but was subsequently halted due to opposition from tourists and local politicians.

Australian man and two young children found dead in Bali bungalow
An Australian man, Damien John Shaw, 56, and his two children, a six-year-old son and a four-year-old daughter, were discovered deceased in their Kuta bungalow in Bali. Bali provincial police reported that the bodies were found on Sunday morning after neighbors checked on the family. The check was prompted by a call from Shaw's wife, who was in Jakarta and became concerned when her call with her husband disconnected after she heard her child cry. Neighbors, along with a community head, found the three bodies. Police are investigating the case as a suspected murder-suicide and are conducting forensic examinations of the crime scene, reviewing CCTV footage, and interviewing witnesses. The bodies have been moved to Sanglah Hospital for further examination. The family had been leasing the bungalow in Kuta since 2022. The Australian consulate is providing consular support to the family.
