Australian Sara Connor and her British boyfriend David Taylor arrived at a court on Indonesia's tourist island of Bali on Tuesday (February 21) ahead of a charges hearing after being accused of murdering a police officer.
They were both put on trial in separate hearings and are both charged with the assault and murder of police officer Wayan Sudarsa in mid-August last year.
The body of Sudarsa, a traffic police official, was found in the early hours of August 17, face-down in the sand on popular Kuta beach, with wounds to his head and neck, according to media reports.
Both Connor and Taylor are scheduled to hear their charges before the judge gives the verdict.
Taylor, who is a musician with the stage name DJ Nutzo, admitted he was involved in a "confrontation" with the officer over his girlfriend's missing purse, but denies killing him.
While Connor once told her lawyer, Erwin Siregar that she saw Taylor beating the officer as she searched for her purse.
Both could be jailed for up to 15 years if found guilty. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
