Accused couple play out Bali killing ‘scenes’

British man David Taylor has reenacted in eerie silence the moments he struck a Bali police officer with a beer bottle, as his Australian girlfriend Sara Connor sat kneeling nearby.

Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, Taylor found himself yesterday kneeling at the spot where he is alleged to have murdered Wayan Sudarsa two weeks ago.

But this time Sudarsa was played by another police officer, and the whole scene was watched by more than 100 police and media.

Connor, meanwhile, was forced to re-enact ‘‘scenes’’ that she says never happened.

‘‘A lot of scenes were not known by Sara,’’ her lawyer Erwin Siregar told reporters after the first section of the re-enactment.

The re-enactment was the first time Taylor and Connor had seen each other since their arrest. They could face charges including murder and deadly assault.

When they were brought together out of two armoured vehicles, Taylor kissed Connor on the top of the head before she leaned into his shoulder to begin the first ‘‘scene’’.

Photographers yelled from the sidelines asking police to move so they could get a clear shot.

As the sun rose, the confrontation between the pair escalated in eerie step-by-step silence.

‘‘Scene . . . David fell and became involved in a fight with the victim,’’ a police officer directed as Taylor lay quietly on his back.

‘‘Victim and David hitting each other and struggling. David smashed the bottle to the back of victim’s head until it shattered.’’

Denpasar Police Chief Hadi Purnomo said there were still discrepancies between the police dossier and the re-enactment.

The couple were taken to various locations in Bali to carry out more than 60 ‘‘scenes’’ from the events of August 16 and 17, including the alleged murder and the moments where they are accused of destroying evidence, such as burning their clothes.
