Forensic experts estimate the dismembered remains found are around three days old.

However, there has been no official confirmation the body parts belong to Komarov.

DNA tests are now underway, with Bali Police working alongside the Ukrainian consulate.

Investigators say four suspects fled via Bali’s international airport, while two are thought to remain on the island.

An operation orchestrated by Interpol is now underway to locate them.

Komarov had been traveling with his girlfriend, Ukrainian influencer Yea Mishalova.

Authorities believe images she shared on social media during the trip may have inadvertently revealed their location.

Police were first alerted to the alleged attack by a friend who reportedly managed to escape.

CCTV footage and GPS data later led investigators to a villa in Tabanan, where officers discovered bloodstains matching those found inside one of the rented vehicles.

Detectives believe Komarov was held against his will and assaulted at the property.

In the disturbing ransom footage, Komarov appears battered and bruised as he reads from a prepared statement.

Pleading with his mother to hand over the money, he says: “Mum, Mum – I beg you, please help me.

“We stole those $10 million they’re asking you for.

“Give them back those $10 million. Please.”

He continues: “They’ve already chopped off some of my limbs.

“My legs are already broken, my ribs are broken, my rib cage is punctured.”

Komarov has been described by local outlets as the son of a Kramatorsk crime figure nicknamed “Komar”.

Authorities have not yet formally confirmed the identity of the remains as investigations continue.
