In August last year, the corpse of Indonesian police officer Wayan Sudarsa was found on Kuta Beach in Bali, bloodied, with 42 wounds on his body, neck and head.
On Monday, three Indonesian judges in a Denpasar courtroom packed with media cameras sentenced a British man and an Australian woman over his death.
David Taylor has admitted to bashing Mr Sudarsa, but says he was attacked first and acted in self-defence.
He was sentenced to six years in prison.
Mr Taylor's lawyer, Haposan Sihombing, says he will not be appealing the sentence.
"Regarding the offence, he holds himself responsible. He has also made an effort to apologise, approach and devote himself to the victim's family, despite them refusing. Therefore, in relation to the eight-year charge and six-year sentence, our client David Taylor has accepted and is ready to commit to the prison charges."
However, Sara Connor, a 46-year-old mother of two from Byron Bay in New South Wales, may appeal her sentence.
She has maintained her innocence throughout the trial and says she was trying to separate Mr Taylor and Mr Sudarsa as they fought.
Prosecutors say she was equally responsible, helping pin the officer to the ground and attempting to destroy evidence after the killing.
The crime carried a maximum sentence of 12 years, and the prosecution asked for eight, for both Ms Connor and Mr Taylor.
But Ms Connor received a lesser sentence of only four years.
She now has seven days to decide whether to lodge an appeal, and her lawyer, Robert Khoana, says he will advise her to do so.
"We are still very disappointed. And according to us, our client Sara must be released. That's why we will advise her to appeal."
But in the Indonesian legal system, there are risks in appealing sentences.
In the past, judges have sometimes decided to increase sentences on appeals.
For example, in 2006, during the trial of so-called Bali Nine Australian drug smugglers, three of the men appealed their life sentences and were given the death penalty.
The death sentences for those three were later reduced back to life in prison on another appeal.
But the director of the University of Melbourne's Centre for Indonesian Law, Tim Lindsey, says he does not think it would be a good idea for Ms Connor to appeal her sentence.
"Given the fact that this is a police officer who was beaten to death with over 40 blows in what seems to have been a drunken rage, I think it's a pretty light sentence. Of course, four years in a Balinese prison would not be light for the person doing the time, but, compared to what she could have received for the killing, it's pretty light. She would be very ill-advised to appeal, because it is quite possible she could end up with a more severe sentence."
Professor Lindsey says, even if Ms Connor does not appeal, it is likely the prosecution will.
He says it is common practice for the prosecution to appeal when the sentence is less than two-thirds of what it sought.
There are two more stages of appeal open to both parties, the provincial High Court and then the Supreme Court.
The seven months Ms Connor has already spent behind bars will be deducted from the four years, and there are opportunities for early release on good behaviour.
Professor Lindsey says the fact Ms Connor got a lighter sentence than Mr Taylor shows the judges acknowledged she played a lesser role in the killing.
"It's not uncommon in Indonesia for female offenders to receive lighter sentences than male offenders -- that may have played a part in it as well. But it is most likely because, while they don't accept her claims that she had nothing to do with the killing, they do accept that she played a less significant role."
