DENPASAR Indonesia (Reuters) - Indonesian police said on Tuesday they have tested a U.S. teen, detained after the discovery of her mother's battered body in a suitcase in Bali, to see if she is pregnant and are awaiting the result.

No charges have been brought in connection with the murder of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, whose body was found in the bloodied case outside the luxury St. Regis hotel in Nusa Dua, Bali, last week.
