Gianyar, Bali. Indonesian police have confirmed through DNA testing that mutilated human remains discovered along Bali’s eastern coast belong to a missing Ukrainian national.Bali travel guide
Bali Police spokesperson Ariasandy said laboratory tests conducted at the National Police Forensic Laboratory Center in Jakarta matched the DNA profile of the recovered body parts with genetic samples provided by the victim’s parents.
“The DNA profile from the body parts we submitted was compared with reference samples from the victim’s parents. The results showed a match,” Ariasandy said in Denpasar on Wednesday.
The remains were first discovered by residents on Feb. 26 near Ketewel Beach in Sukawati district, Gianyar regency. A subsequent search along the nearby river estuary and coastline led to the recovery of additional body parts, including the head, torso, arms, and legs.

Due to the advanced condition of the remains, visual identification was not possible. Investigators sent six bone samples to the national forensic laboratory for DNA testing. The results confirmed the remains belong to Igor Komarov, 28, a Ukrainian national previously reported missing.Police equipment sales

In a parallel development, Bali Police’s General Crimes Directorate said forensic testing also found that bloodstains discovered at a villa and inside a Toyota Avanza in Tabanan regency were identical to the DNA of Komarov’s mother.
“The blood splatters found at the villa and in the Avanza suspected to have been used by the perpetrators have been tested, and the results are identical to the victim’s mother’s DNA,” Ariasandy said.
The findings strengthen investigators’ suspicion that Komarov was transported in the vehicle and held at the villa in Tabanan before his disappearance. Police described the forensic analysis as a crucial element in reconstructing the sequence of events using scientific evidence.Indonesian business directory
Earlier, police said Komarov was abducted on Feb. 15 in Jimbaran. Investigators tracked the suspects’ movements through CCTV footage, which showed a car and two motorcycles traveling between Tabanan and Badung regencies.
