I wonder if the victim was a coalburner.

A Chicago woman’s body was discovered stuffed in a blood-splattered suitcase outside of a luxury hotel in Bali — and her teenage daughter and boyfriend were arrested in connection to the brutal murder on Wednesday, police sources said.

Heather Mack, 19, and her boyfriend,Tommy Schaefer, 21, allegedly crammed the half-naked body of [color="Red"]Sheila von Wiese Mack , 62 — an academic who once worked for Ted Kennedy — into the luggage before leaving it in a cab near the five-star St Regis hotel in Nusa Dua on Tuesday night, police sources told the Jakarta Post.

“When we opened the suitcase, we were really surprised as we found a dead body… There was blood and wounds to her forehead,” South Kuta Police Chief Comr. Gede Redastra told the paper.

A taxi driver called the cops after discovering the suitcase, which was wrapped in a bloody bed sheet, the paper reported.

“After they put in the suitcase, they went back into the lobby,” the cab driver, Ketut Wirjana,said of the young couple.

“They told me to wait. But after waiting almost two hours, they hadn’t appeared,” he said.

Schaefer may have killed his girlfriend’s mother after a fight on Monday, cops said.

Surveillance footage reveals the couple removed the suitcase from room 616 — where Mack and her daughter had been staying for three days, cops said.

Schaefer had a separate room, cops said.

Police questioned Sheila von Wiese Mack’s 19-year-old daughter, Heather Mack, and her boyfriend, 21-year-old Tommy Schaefer.
