The Bali Police are still investigating the causes of the tragic deaths of two Chinese tourists, Cheng Jianan and Li Chiming, at the Intercontinental Jimbaran Hotel, South Kuta, on Monday, 1st of May 2023. So far, 15 witnesses have been questioned regarding the deaths of the two Chinese tourists.
The Head of Bali Police Public Relations, Stefanus Satake Bayu Setianto, S.I.K. MSc, explained that the Denpasar Police Criminal Research Unit had questioned 15 witnesses regarding the tragic deaths of the two Chinese tourists. However, Setianto did not specify who the witnesses were or their investigation results. Still, according to the information obtained, the witnesses are mostly the hotel staff and guests who saw and stayed in that five-star hotel on that horrible night.
“Fifteen witnesses have been questioned. We are still investigating the cause of their deaths,” Setianto said during a press conference on Sunday, 7th of May, 2023.
Meanwhile, the autopsy process on the bodies of the two Chinese tourists has been carried out at Prof. Ngoerah General Hospital, Denpasar. However, the post-mortem results regarding the victims’ cause of death cannot be announced just yet.
As previously reported, all the guests at the Intercontinental Hotel on Jalan Uluwatu Number 16 Jimbaran were shocked by the discovery of two Chinese tourists who died at that five-star hotel.
The victims were found naked and covered in blood. Initially, the hotel operator received a call from a guest in room number 4228, who informed the staff that they heard a guest screaming for help in the corridor. The duty manager, who was in charge that night, immediately went to the location to check.
The duty manager asked one of the hotel employees to come with a wheelchair to anticipate if a guest who asked for help was injured and needed a wheelchair. When they arrived at the corridor of the victims’ room, they were shocked to find Cheng Jianan lying in front of the room, naked and covered in blood. Furthermore, the duty manager reported this incident to the Chief Security Officer and checked the CCTV to see what happened to the two Chinese tourists. The CCTV recording shows that the victim came out of room 4223 naked and covered in blood; not long after that, he was sprawled on the floor.
Inside room number 4223, Li Chiming was also found dead and naked, lying in the bathtub of that five-star hotel room.
Members of the South Kuta Police and the Denpasar Police Identification Unit went to the location of the incident. They investigated the crime scenes to determine what happened to the two Chinese tourists. As a result, an open wound was found on Cheng Jianan’s neck; under her left chest and left arm, there were blisters all over her body. Meanwhile, on Li Chiming’s neck, there are abrasions suspected to be entanglement marks and bruises on his forehead.
