“All these circumstances suggest that this is not a case of natural death.”
The wife, a Hong Konger, was held on suspicion of aiding a criminal.
She was then freed on bail pending further investigation.
Champman made his first court appearance Friday as cops continued to investigate the case.
Pictured for the first time, he was seen in a red shirt and sweater, sitting in the back of a police vehicle.
In court, he did not enter a plea and his lawyer did not request bail.
The judge adjourned his case to January to give time for further investigation.
The Indonesian consulate and her employment agency will help repatriate Novitasari’s body.
She was from Cilacap in Central Java province, Indonesia officials said.
According to local media, Chapman and his Hong Kong wife settled in the city after marrying, where they ran a coffee shop together.
The Brit is believed to be originally from London and graduated from Loughborough University in 2011 before moving to Hing Kong.
