Heather Mack, 25, was released from a Bali prison, nearly three years early for good behaviour, and was set to be send to the United States
Immigration officials said that American Heather Mack, convicted as a pregnant teenager of helping to kill her mother at an Indonesian luxury hotel, was to be deported Tuesday along with her now six-year-old daughter.
Last Week Mack, 25, was released from a Bali prison, nearly three years early because of her good behaviour, and later was set to be flown to the United States.
"Yes, it's true. (She's) got the ticket already," Bali justice ministry spokesman I Putu Surya Dharma told reporters when asked about Mack's pending deportation.
In the case dubbed the "suitcase murder", 10-year jail term was announced in 2015 while her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer got 18 years for the murder of Chicago socialite Sheila von Wiese Mack on the island of Bali.
Schaefer beat the 62-year-old victim to death with a fruit bowl during an argument at the five-star St. Regis resort. The couple then stuffed the woman's body into a suitcase and tried to flee with it in a taxi, but quickly abandoned the blood-soaked luggage. Von Wiese Mack's badly beaten body was discovered in the taxi outside the ritzy hotel where she had been staying with her daughter and Schaefer.
Mack was pregnant at the time of the crime, so was found guilty on a lesser charge of assisting in the murder.
Earlier, Mack's lawyer told AFP that she did not want her daughter to be deported and "hounded by the (US) media".
A prison official said that Since the pandemic began, Mack -- now fluent in Indonesian and Balinese -- had only video contact with her daughter.
The 2014 murder shook the usually sedate holiday island, with details of the grisly killing emerging during the closely followed trial.
The couple had went to another part of Bali, where police arrested them.
