Bali body: Indonesian woman accused of arranging murder of husband who held Australian and British passports

Bali police are accusing an Indonesian woman of arranging the murder of her husband, who held Australian and British passports.

There was confusion last night when Bali police said the man, found dead and tied up in a plastic bag, was Australian but then later retracted that, saying he was British.

Now police have confirmed the 60-year-old held passports from both countries. It is understood the man used to live in Australia.

Police have arrested the man's 45-year-old Indonesian wife for allegedly arranging his murder.

Badung police captain Wisnu Wardhana alleges the woman was motivated by money.

He said wife and another man had been arrested, but four more men are at large.

A farmer in Bali's Badung region found the man's body in the bag, along with a foam mattress.

Police believe he died early on Monday morning.

A forensics doctor at Bali's Sanglah Hospital, Ida Bagus Putu Alit, said there were three cuts to the man's neck, one of which severed a vein and killed him.

The man's legs and arms were tied and he had bruises to his face and body.
