Bali police spokesman Ariasandi said that laboratory tests conducted at the National Forensic Laboratory in Jakarta showed a DNA match between samples obtained from the victim’s parents and the DNA profile of the found body parts.

The DNA profile from the body parts we sent was compared with control samples from the victim’s parents. The results showed a match

The remains were first found by residents on February 26 near Ketewel Beach in Sukawati district, eastern Bali. Further searches in the river delta and coastal areas led to the discovery of additional body parts, including the head, torso, arms, and legs.

Due to the significant state of decomposition of the remains, visual identification was impossible. Investigators sent six bone samples to the national forensic laboratory for DNA testing. The results confirmed that the remains belong to Ihor Komarov, a 28-year-old Ukrainian citizen who had previously been reported missing.

In a parallel development, the Bali Police General Crimes Department reported that forensic tests also showed that blood stains found in a villa and in a Toyota Avanza car in Tabanan district were identical to Komarov’s mother’s DNA.

“Blood found in the villa and in the Avanza car, likely used by the perpetrators, was tested, and the results are identical to the victim’s mother’s DNA,” Ariasandi said.

These findings reinforce investigators’ suspicions that Komarov was transported in the car and held in the villa in Tabanan before his disappearance. Police called the forensic analysis a key element in reconstructing the timeline of events using scientific evidence.

Police previously stated that Komarov was abducted on February 15 in Jimbaran. Investigators tracked the suspects’ movements using CCTV, which showed a car and two motorcycles moving between the Tabanan and Badung regions.

Authorities detained a suspect, identified as S, in West Nusa Tenggara, and identified six foreigners – RM, VK, AS, VN, SM, and DH – as suspects in the kidnapping case. They were placed on the wanted list, and Bali police appealed to Interpol for the issuance of red notices to support interception outside the country.

The detained S was arrested last week in West Nusa Tenggara. Investigators stated that he allegedly rented a car with a fake passport, which was later used to abduct Ukrainian Ihor Komarov, 28.

He told police that he did not know the car would be used for a crime and that he was asked to rent the car for 6 million rupiah (approximately $350).

Police reported that four suspects had left Bali, while two are believed to remain in Indonesia.

Bali police stated that the investigation is ongoing to fully clarify the roles of each suspect and determine the motives for the kidnapping and murder.

“We continue to develop the case and pursue all individuals involved,” Ariasandi added.
