Australian murder suspect Sara Connor has revealed she and her boyfriend David Taylor were "desperate" after learning the police officer with whom Mr Taylor had fought two days earlier had been found dead on a beach.
The couple, who are being tried separately, are both facing charges of murder, fatal group assault or assault causing death, after Ms Connor's identity cards were found near Bali police officer Wayan Sudarsa's bloodied body on August 17 last year.
The murder charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years' jail.
Ms Connor, who is from Byron Bay, told the Denpasar District Court she received a phone call from a friend two days later that the news was reporting her cards had been found at the crime scene.
"After I received the phone call we were both crying. That's when I asked David: 'Did you hit him with something?' He told me yes," Ms Connor said.
"We were desperate."
Ms Connor said Mr Taylor suggested burning the clothes they were wearing the night of Mr Sudarsa's death and she had responded: "Let's just chuck them away. I want to go to the (Australian) consulate."
Ultimately, they burned the clothes.
"I didn't complain. I was so sad someone had just left this life," Ms Connor said.
It was revealed Mr Taylor had come to Bali after his wife, with whom he was separated, "went behind my back" and informed immigration in Australia. He was given a limited time to leave the country but had been told he could return to Australia on a different visa.
Mr Taylor and Ms Connor, whose trials were held consecutively, were grilled over why they escaped relatively unscathed from the fight when Mr Sudarsa, whom they claimed attacked them, sustained 42 injuries.
Mr Taylor was also quizzed on how much he had been drinking that night and if he could control himself when drunk. He said he had consumed three beers over a period of six hours and shared an arak cocktail - made from a Balinese spirit - with Ms Connor over dinner. He had not felt aggressive at the time: "That night I felt happy."
"When you are drunk can you control yourself? The prosecutor asked.
Mr Taylor: "Yes."
Prosecutor: "Sure?"
Mr Taylor: "Yes 100 per cent."
Prosecutor: "100 per cent?"
He said he had been angry at the time because Ms Connor's bag had been stolen and instead of helping him Mr Sudarsa had laughed. Mr Taylor had believed Mr Sudarsa was a fake cop and had frisked him.
"If he was a policeman why didn't he help me, why did he laugh at me?" he told the court.
Mr Taylor said he had been angry that he had been attacked by Mr Sudarsa and someone had threatened his life. "I didn't feel guilty until I learnt the full consequences of the fight which was two days later."
Asked by a prosecutor if it was him that had caused the problem because he grabbed the police officer, Mr Taylor replied: "I searched his body and he then pushed me to the ground and punched me."
Mr Taylor admitted bashing Mr Sudarsa with objects including binoculars and a beer bottle six times, as well as his bare fists, but insists he was acting in self defence and the police officer was still alive when he left him.
Ms Connor maintains her innocence insisting all she did was try to separate the fighting men.
The British DJ agreed he had taken Mr Sudarsa's wallet after the fight and the couple went out to buy cigarettes after cutting up his identity cards.
"Why didn't you go at the time to the police station?" the prosecutor asked.
Mr Taylor said he had demonstrated good faith by attempting to go to the police station immediately after the fight.
Earlier court hearings had been told an ojek (motorcyle taxi) refused to take them because they didn't have any money.
"I didn't know where the police station is in Kuta. It was late, I just wanted to go to bed," Mr Taylor said.
Ms Connor was asked to explain why the victim kept biting her when she didn't do anything to him.
"That's what I can't explain," she said. "That's what I ask myself: Why did he decide to bite me?"
The court was adjourned until next week, when prosecutors will make their sentence request.
Mr Taylor said his "biggest concern" throughout this "whole thing" was that a life had been lost.
"I want to give my thanks to the prosecution and the honourable judges for their patience and help throughout this whole experience," he said.
After his trial he said: "My sincerest deepest apologies from the bottom of my heart. I never intended to do harm to anyone. I was put in an unfortunate position where I had to defend myself. That's what I did."
