Trial in Lombok: How a Robbery Ended the Life of a Mallorca Resident

Answer

Why is the Lombok case being tried in Mataram?

The case is being heard in Mataram because that is where the suspected crimes took place and where the local court has jurisdiction. Indonesian prosecutors are presenting the evidence there, including the events at a hotel in Senggigi and the later concealment of the body. For the family in Mallorca, the distance makes the process harder to follow.
