Igor Komarov, a 28-year-old Ukrainian tourist, was kidnapped during a trip to Bali in mid-February and was later found dead. A few days after his disappearance, a video demanding a ransom of up to $10 million went viral.

In the video , the Ukrainian tourist appears covered in bruises, seemingly reciting a prepared speech. He pleads with his mother to hand over $10 million.
“Mom, Mom—I beg you, please help me. We stole the $10 million they’re demanding from you. Please give them back that $10 million. Please,” he said.
Information leaked from photos shared on social media.
Komarov was abducted on February 15 while riding a motorbike with a friend in the resort town of Jimbaran. According to news.com.au , he was traveling with his girlfriend, Yea Mishalova, a social media influencer, and a friend.
He was forced into a car by a group, leaving his friend behind. The friend later reported the incident to the police. A few days later, local residents discovered body parts on a nearby beach and beside a river.
According to India Today , authorities believe that images shared on social media during the trip may have inadvertently revealed Komarov’s location.
Data from CCTV cameras and GPS tracking subsequently led investigators to a villa in the Tabanan area, where officers reportedly discovered bloodstains matching those found inside one of the rented vehicles. Detectives believe Komarov was held against his will and tortured at this location.
Red notices issued for 6 suspects.
According to CBS , Ihor Komarov was identified from DNA samples taken from the body and compared to his mother’s, police spokesman Bali Ariasandy told reporters. He did not name Komarov, but showed a piece of paper with his name and date of birth.
Police said the motive for the crime is still under investigation. They have also arrested the man who rented the car used in the incident. He gave the names of six other people – all foreigners who came to Indonesia – who are now considered suspects.
All six individuals have left Indonesia and are subject to red notices issued by police for their arrest, Ariasandy added. “Some of them carried out the kidnapping; others may have subsequently committed acts of abuse,” he said.
“They are all foreign nationals and may have more than two passports. Some have two or three passports. Verification is being conducted overseas,” Ariasandy added.
