Bali newsBali4 min read
A suspected murder-suicide involving a Western Australian man, Damien John Shaw, 56, and his two children, aged six and four, occurred on Sunday, September 13, 2026, at the Arca Bungalow on Jalan Three Brothers in Legian, Bali. Indonesian police discovered the bodies at 10:15 am. Police were alerted after a friend of Shaw's wife, calling from Jakarta, requested a welfare check. The children's mother had a tearful phone call with her daughter, during which she heard the girl say "stop daddy" before the call was cut off. A neighbor, along with the community head, forced entry into the bungalow around 8:30 am, finding the bodies. The Shaw family had a long-term lease on the bungalow since 2022. The bodies have been moved to the morgue of Ngoerah Hospital in Denpasar for autopsy and forensic examination as part of the ongoing investigation. Western Australian Premier Roger Cook described the situation as "horrific" and "very sad."

Bali plans customary sea ceremony before Agung I and II seismic survey
The Bali provincial government will hold a customary sea ceremony on September 24, 2026, ahead of a seismic survey in the Agung I and Agung II working areas offshore Bali. The ceremony is a local tradition to seek permission from nature before exploration activities begin. SKK Migas Deputy Head for Exploration, Development and Management of Working Areas Djoko Siswanto stated that the Bali Governor will lead the event, inviting relevant parties to ensure the seismic activity proceeds smoothly and safely. The US$42.7 million seismic survey, backed by SKK Migas, Japan's INPEX, and UK-based BP, is expected to start on October 22, 2026, and continue until early 2027. Preliminary estimates suggest the areas could contain between 1 trillion and 7 trillion cubic feet of gas. If commercially viable reserves are confirmed, planned production could reach around 200 million standard cubic feet per day. If seismic data analysis indicates significant hydrocarbon potential, an additional US$25 million will be invested in drilling one exploration well.

Australian tourist dies after fall from Kelingking Beach cliff on Nusa Penida
Cronin Brianna Lani, a 29-year-old Australian tourist from Queensland, died on Saturday, September 12, 2026, after falling from an 80-meter cliff at Kelingking Beach in Nusa Penida. She reportedly became stuck on the cliffside and fell further into a ravine while attempting to find her own way down. A lifeguard was alerted and contacted for assistance, but Lani fell before help could reach her. Rescue teams, including police, the National Search and Rescue Agency Basarnas, and residents, conducted an evacuation. An initial plan to evacuate by sea was canceled due to high waves, so the team used the Kelingking Beach stairway for a land evacuation. The process took approximately 1.5 hours due to the steep and rugged terrain. Lani sustained multiple fractures and other injuries. Her body was taken to Griya Penida Clinic and is scheduled to be transferred to Gema Santi Hospital, awaiting coordination with authorities and the Australian Consulate.
