Overview

• Authorities identified the suspects as S. U., 34, a current employee, and H. R., 30, a former worker at the Bumi Aditya hotel in Senggigi.
• Investigators say the men entered room 107 through a window, stole about €156 and her phone, and asphyxiated Matilde Muñoz with a towel.
• The stolen phone was resold and later recovered by police, leading to the arrests in Dusun Loco and at a hospital in Mataram.
• Police state the body was kept at the hotel for weeks, moved on August 24 to Playa Alberto, and found under the sand roughly two months after the killing.
• Friends and relatives urge a deeper probe into possible hotel complicity, naming the accountant known as Mala, while Spain’s Foreign Ministry says the embassy has been engaged since late July.
