Heather Mack: Daughter of woman whose body was found stuffed in suitcase at Bali resort spared firing squad

An Indonesian court found a young US couple guilty of murdering the woman's mother and stuffing her battered body into a suitcase on the resort island of Bali.

Heather Mack and Tommy Schaefer, both from the Chicago area, were arrested last August after staff at a luxury hotel discovered the body of Mack's mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, in an abandoned suitcase in a taxi.

Schaefer was sentenced to 18 years in prison for premeditated murder immediately after the verdict was delivered by a panel of three judges, and Mack to 10 years for being an accessory to murder.
