DENPASAR Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesian police said on Friday those responsible for the killing of an American woman, whose remains were found inside a bloodied suitcase on the resort island of Bali, could face the death penalty if the case is deemed premeditated murder.

No charges have so far been pressed over the murder of Chicago-based Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, whose battered body was found in the suitcase outside the St. Regis luxury hotel in Nusa Dua, Bali, earlier this week.
