A British man accused of murdering a Bali policeman has been visited in jail by his vicar father - as his co-accused girlfriend claims the case against her is based on 'imagination'.

David Taylor, 34, is on trial accused of murdering officer Wayan Sudarsa, whose bloodied body was found with deep wounds believed to have mostly been caused by a beer bottle.

The policeman's corpse was found on Kuta Beach in the early hours of August 17.

Prosecutors claim he was killed in a row over a missing handbag belonging to Taylor's Australian girlfriend, Sara Connor, 46, who is also accused of murder.

Taylor's father, Rev John Taylor, visited the British DJ before his second trial at Denpasar Court in Bali today, along with his mother and sister.

Taylor, from Stoke Newington in London, and Connor are facing charges of charges of unpremeditated murder, violence causing death, and assault causing death.

Police say he flew into a rage and hit the policeman repeatedly over the head with a beer bottle, although his defence lawyer says he was first pushed by the officer.

The pair fled the scene, but were later tracked down after witnesses reported the incident to police.

Taylor told the court, The Australian reports: 'It is not true that I committed murder, I was only defending myself.'

Connor's lawyers plan to claim the allegations against her are 'based on imagination' and 'speculation' when her trial resumes next week, the Australian Daily Telegraph reported.

Taylor's lawyer, Haposan Sihombing, said his family were trying to arrange a meeting with Mr Sudarsa's widow, Ketut Arsini, to offer an apology.

Taylor has already written her a letter.

The prosecution alleges the couple were jointly responsible for the officer's death.

He had been struck with a beer bottle, binoculars and a mobile phone.

Before the trial it was revealed last night that Taylor - who has shaved off his dreadlocks - has written a heartfelt letter to Ketut Arsini, the widow of the slain police officer.

It stated: ‘I really cannot believe that my terrible actions may have contributed to the taking of another’s life.’

The fight allegedly began when Taylor 'frisked' the officer in search of Connor's lost purse.

Her lawyers will present a 19-page 'excepsi' or challenge to the charges against her.

'We, as the lawyers, feel that we need to give this objection because the indictment was made, not based on the examination, but based on imagination and speculation, so that generally it is made up,' the challenge obtained by Daily Telegraph reads.

The only logical charges against Connor could be for concealing evidence, the lawyers will claim.

Mother-of-two Sara Connor has admitted cutting up the officer's ID cards, but has rubbished allegations that she is guilty of murder

She has previously admitted to cutting up the officer's ID cards before the clothes she and Taylor wore were burned.

For that charge, Connor could face nine-months in prison.

A panel of three judges could take a week to consider the challenge, Nine News reported.
