Indonesian police have arrested a man over the murder of an elderly Japanese couple whose bodies were found burned beyond recognition on the holiday island of Bali.
The scorched corpses of Nurio Matsuba, 76, and his 73-year-old wife Hiroko were discovered on September 4 by their Indonesian foster son in Jimbaran, a resort area in the southern part of the island.
Police detained a 25-year-old Balinese man, identified as I Putu Astawa, for the fatal stabbings early Monday.
Investigators, who are not looking for any other suspects, believe the murders were an opportunistic robbery gone wrong.
