Police have provided a disturbing update after body parts was discovered on a Bali beach last month.
Officers in Indonesia had been searching for Igor Komarov, the son of a Ukrainian businessman, after he was allegedly kidnapped while holidaying in the country with his influencer girlfriend Yesa Mishalova.
The 28-year-old was supposedly abducted on 15 February while riding a scooter and concerns were sparked when a ransom video began circulating online, with Komarov suggesting that he'd already been beaten within an inch of his life and had some of his limbs removed by his kidnappers.

The haunting video sees him plead with his parents to return the ten million they were accused of stealing in the hope of him being allowed to go free, but dismembered body parts were discovered last week on a Bali beach.
And the latest police update seems to tragically suggest that those belong to Komarov, with DNA tests matching those of his mother.
"DNA tests have been conducted by the police forensic laboratory in Jakarta into six samples we got from the body parts," Bali Police Senior Commissioner Ariasandy said.
The tests focused on samples of the washed up body parts, which included a molar tooth, a collarbone, a fragment of the thigh bone (femur), a rib bone, a toe bone, and a fragment of the shin bone.
Ariasandy added: "The DNA tests match with the DNA sample from [Mr Komarov's] mother. Based on (this), we found that the body parts (were) identical to the victim."
Officers confirmed the discovery of a head, right leg, upper chest sections, thighs and internal organs, which have now been identified as belonging to Igor Komarov, with the reports also suggesting that he had died around three days prior.
In the horrifying ransom video, the emotional victim begged for help from his 'mummy' and 'daddy' - the Ukrainian 'kingpin' Sergey Komarov.
He said: "They already chopped off some of my limbs, I have broken legs and punched ribcage. I'm already on meds, I already have no limbs.
"Mummy, Daddy, I beg you, help me please, you stole those ten million, which they ask for, return these ten million please.
"An infection will start soon. I'm just dying... I ask you very much, this is a very serious organisation, please help me, no one can find me, neither mafiosos, no one.
"Bring me home, what[ever] is left of me at the moment, please settle with these people, they need ten million dollars, which we stole.
"As soon as these ten million are received in their accounts, they will immediately let me go to the place where they took me."
Police previously suggested that they are hunting six suspects - identified only as RM, BK, AS, VN, SM, and DH. Cops believe four have them may have already fled the country.
