Hide AdSpeaking from his home in Hinckley, the 55-year-old said his family was consumed with overwhelming grief.
He said: “It’s gut-wrenching. You never expect it’s going to happen to you and your family. It has left us raw, bewildered and confused.”
He said his sister had been a supply teacher in Hinckley but had felt her true vocation was overseas. She had finished a five-year contract in Vietnam, having previously taught in Namibia, Colombia, Vietnam and Turkey over the last 14 years and had gone to Bali to set up a social enterprise to improve young people’s lives.
The Jakarta Post said a Bali man had been arrested in connection with her murder.
