  • Story Text: An Australia suspect in a Bali police murder case told the court on Monday (January 30) that she didn't know how the victim was killed.
    Briton David Taylor and his Australian girlfriend Sara Connor appeared in the trial in separate hearings by an Indonesian court.
    The two were charged with the assault and murder of police officer Wayan Sudarsa in mid-August last year, after the body was found on the famous Kuta beach.
    Connor testified on Monday in Taylor's court hearing, saying that she didn't know how the policeman had died.
    "I don't remember much, I think there was a couple of people on this side of the gate (to the beach), I just lean over and looking around, I don't remember," she said to court.
    But she admitted that she found blood stain on her shirt and said she didn't know where it came from.
    "I realise, yes, I had a little bit of blood around my collar," she said.
    Taylor, a musician with the stage name DJ Nutzo, admitted he was involved in a "confrontation" with the police officer over his girlfriend's missing purse, but denied killing him.
    Both could be jailed for up to 15 years if found guilty.
