Police have confirmed a white substance found on an Australian teenager in Bali, Indonesia, was not drugs.

Jamie Murphy, 18, was detained at the Sky Garden nightclub at Kuta beach in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
He faced the possibility of 12 years in jail for possession, but is now set to be released after forensic tests revealed the powder was a mix of four legal substances, including caffeine.

Mr Murphy's blood and urine tests also came back negative for drugs.
Bali police chief Sugeng Priyanto told The Australian: "I have instructed Kuta police chief to release immediately because we have found no evidence against him."
Other Australian media report the substances included painkillers.
'Not mine'
The Perth tourist had maintained his innocence since his arrest.
"It's not mine, I haven't taken it, what are you doing, it's not mine," he said in footage aired by Australia's Nine News.

Mr Murphy denied this powder-like substance was his
The footage showed a small bag containing a powder-like substance on the floor beside a mobile phone and a hotel key.
Many young Australians travel abroad at this time of year, as part of the mass high school graduation celebrations known as "schoolies".
It is understood that Mr Murphy graduated last year and arrived in Bali with two friends on Sunday.

The friends of a teenager allegedly caught with a bag of white powder while partying in Bali have released a video they claim proves he was 'set-up' by security guards.

Jamie Murphy, 18, was forced into the back of a police car after spending the night at popular nightclub the Sky Garden in Kuta on Monday night during Schoolies week and could be kept behind bars for six days while police investigate.

But friends of the former Ellenbrook Secondary College student claim a Balinese official was holding the substance prior to searching him and believe Mr Murphy is innocent.

'You can clearly see the (substance) in the security's hand BEFORE he even opened up the bag,' Mr Murphy's friend Ty Airey posted with screen grabs of the video footage of the search.

'Don't drag his name through the gutter when even the video u (sic) posted has it clearly showing a set up'.
