Three suspects, including a former carpentry worker, are in custody, while a fourth surrendered and is cooperating. Authorities believe the attack targeted Carpenter’s laptop, cash, and backpack, with no link to his conservation work. Known globally for his biodiversity expertise — even testifying in international South China Sea disputes — Carpenter was set to retire and was deeply respected for his impact on marine conservation in the Coral Triangle.
