Denpasar, Bali (ANTARA) – The Bali Regional Police have named six foreign nationals as suspects in the alleged kidnapping of Ukrainian citizen Ihor Komarav, 28, who was reported missing on February 15. Police spokesman Senior Commissioner Ariasandy said the suspects were identified after officers arrested a foreign national, CH, who attempted to flee to West Nusa Tenggara. CH is accused of helping rent vehicles for the group using a fake passport. “Following CH’s arrest, we named six other foreign nationals—RM, BK, AS, VN, SM, and DH—as suspects. All are male,” Ariasandy confirmed Friday. The case began when Komarav’s friend reported the alleged abduction to police after escaping an attack during a motorcycle outing in South Kuta. Shortly afterward, Komarav appeared in a live-streamed video from a villa demanding ransom from his family. Investigators traced vehicles rented by CH, including a Toyota Avanza and two motorcycles, to a villa in Tabanan. CCTV footage and GPS data linked the site to the suspects. At the villa, police found blood traces, which forensic tests later matched to stains discovered inside the Avanza. Authorities believe the villa was used to record the ransom video. The discovery led investigators to expand the probe, identifying six additional foreign nationals suspected of involvement or knowledge of the crime. All seven suspects are now in custody as police continue to determine their roles and the motive behind Komarav’s alleged abduction.
