The boyfriend of Australian woman Sara Connor says he is "angry" at those who failed to help the Bali police officer whom he fought with on Kuta Beach and then left "passed out" in the sand.
"Many people have said that they came and saw the body on the beach. But no-one managed to call anyone to help the guy," British man David Taylor told reporters at Denpasar Court on Wednesday.
Connor and Taylor are on trial over the death of Wayan Sudarsa whose bloodied body was discovered covered in sand in the early hours of August 17.
Taylor has said he became embroiled in a fight with Mr Sudarsa after he confronted the cop about Connor's purse that went missing on the beach.
The pair fought, with Taylor claiming he acted in self-defence when he hit Mr Sudarsa with binoculars and a glass bottle.
He left the police officer lying on the sand, telling Connor that Mr Sudarsa was "just passed out".
The court, however, has heard that while the couple were on their way back to their hotel, Mr Sudarsa likely lay dying and could have been saved.
Dr Dudut Rustyadi who performed the autopsy on Mr Sudarsa said it would have taken the police officer anywhere between two to four hours to die from his head injuries.
It was "possible", the doctor told Denpasar Court on Wednesday, that had Mr Sudarsa received help during that period, he could have been saved.
After hearing this testimony Taylor said: "When I left the scene I even said to someone there is a guy on the beach that needs help and they didn't help him.
"It makes me extremely sad and a little bit angry to know that his life could have been saved."
When asked who he was angry with, Taylor replied: "Witnesses who claimed to have seen the person on the beach but didn't help him."
Wayan Gunawan, a community security guard, has previously told the court that he went to the beach at around 2.30am and saw Mr Sudarsa face up in the sand, but waited for police because he "didn't dare" to go closer.
According to the indictment Mr Sudarsa's body was found by police at around 3.45am.
Dr Rustyadi, meanwhile puts Mr Sudarsa's time of death sometime between 2.14 and 4.15am.
Connor and Taylor are facing separate charges of murder, fatal assault in company and assault causing death.
Connor maintains she did nothing but try and separate the men.
The matter returns to court next week.
