According to Bali Post the men were in a romantic relationship.

On October 26, the victim was killed in the bathroom. “To know the role of each suspect, we must wait until they are all in Bali.” he said.

The chief of Denpasar police, Police Commissioner Hadi Purnomo confirmed the arrest. “When they are all in Bali, we will release a full statement,” he said.
