Three Australians face death penalty for Bali villa murder; two arrested after fleeing to Singapore
BADUNG, June 27 — Three Australian men have been formally charged with premeditated murder in Bali, a crime that carries the death penalty in Indonesia, following a fatal shooting earlier this month that killed one Australian and seriously injured another. The suspects — Tupou Pasa Midolmore, 37, Coskun Mevlut, 23, and Darcy Francesco Jenson, 37 — were presented to the media on Thursday, handcuffed and dressed in orange prison uniforms and balaclavas, according to a report published in the Jakarta Globe today. 'This was a carefully planned, organised attack — not a spontaneous act,' said Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya, describing the shooting as a professional operation carried out with clear intent. The incident took place on June 14 at Villa Casa Santisya in Badung, where the trio allegedly arrived on two motorbikes, attacked the victims, and escaped in separate vehicles. The suspects fled Bali through multiple provinces, eventually reaching Sidoarjo in East Java before taking a bus to Jakarta; police say they planned to flee the country via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

The shooting claimed the life of Zivan Radmanovic, 32, and left 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim hospitalised with serious injuries, both of whom are Australian nationals. According to police, Jenson masterminded the operation, securing accommodation, arranging transport, purchasing a hammer to break into the villa, and preparing travel documents for their escape. Midolmore and Mevlut are alleged to have carried out the assault, with investigators saying the men posed as motorbike taxi riders by wearing ride-hailing service jackets to approach the villa without raising suspicion. While the investigation has advanced, police have yet to determine the motive behind the attack and are continuing to gather evidence. The trio face charges under Article 340 of Indonesia's Criminal Code for premeditated murder, and under the firearms law for illegal possession of firearms, both of which carry severe penalties. 'Our investigation is ongoing, and we do not rule out the possibility of additional suspects being involved,' said Daniel.

Indonesian police reveal details about three Australians suspected in fatal shooting of Melbourne man
Indonesian police investigating the fatal shooting of an Australian tourist at a villa on the resort island of Bali have said that two Australians are suspected of arriving on a scooter and opening fire, and another of facilitating the crime. Zivan Radmanovic, a 32-year-old from Melbourne, was killed just after midnight on June 13 at a villa near Munggu Beach in Bali's Badung district. A second man, a 34-year-old from Melbourne, was left beaten in the attack. Police previously announced that they had arrested three Australian men, and at a news conference on Thursday, local time, gave new details of an investigation they said was supported by the Australian Federal Police. Investigators have not revealed a motive in the killing. However, they said they had enough evidence to bring the men to trial on charges of premeditated murder, which could carry a life sentence or the death penalty. The crime scene investigation and surveillance cameras have showed that two suspects, identified by their initials as MC and PT, were the shooters, Bali Police Chief Daniel Adityajaya told a news conference in Badung. The third suspect, identified as DJF, helped the others by buying a hammer used to break down the villa door, renting two cars and three motorcycles, and buying ferry and bus tickets to flee the island, Chief Adityajaya said. One of the suspects was caught at Jakarta's Soekarno Hatta international airport on June 16, and the following day the other two were arrested with the help of Interpol, in Singapore and Cambodia, and sent back to Indonesia. Police on Thursday presented the three suspects handcuffed and wearing orange prison uniforms. Witnesses at the villa told investigators that two gunmen arrived on a scooter at the villa around midnight. Mr Radmanovic was shot in a bathroom of his room, where police found 18 bullet casings and two intact bullets. Mr Radmanovic's partner, Jazmyn Gourdeas, 30, told police that she suddenly woke up when she heard her husband screaming. She cowered under a blanket when she heard multiple gunshots. She later found her husband's body and the other injured Australian, whose wife also testified to seeing the attackers. The women are sisters. Chief Adityajaya said police have retrieved one of two guns that were thrown away by the suspects near a rice field, about 700 meters from the villa. They also found bullet residues on gloves and balaclavas inside a white van used by the three men, and the same residues also were found on the bodies of two of the suspects. Police did not detail how they believe the suspects obtained the weapons, which are heavily regulated in Indonesia, but Chief Adityajaya said police were still gathering evidence. He said that the Australian national who survived the attack and the women have been relocated to a secure location. AP

‘Well organised': Shocking details emerge of alleged murder of Zivan Radmanovic in Bali
Chilling new details of the alleged murder of a Melbourne man in Bali earlier this month have emerged, including the weapon used in the alleged attack. Australians Zivan Radmanovic and Sanar Ghanim were shot shortly after midnight on June 13 at a villa in Bali's south, in what is suspected to be linked to the Melbourne underworld crime syndicate. Mr Radmanovic died at the scene and Mr Ghanim suffered injuries to his leg. After a five-day manhunt for the alleged 'executers', three men, Midolmore Pasa Tupou, 27, Darcy Francesco Jenson, 27, and Mevlut Coskun, 22, were arrested in connection to the shooting. Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya told reporters on Thursday the alleged crime was 'well organised'. Inspector General Adityajaya alleged the trio, known as the Bali 3, had 'planned the act (for) quite long', accusing them of playing key roles in the alleged murder. He alleged 27-year-old Jenson was the mastermind of the attack, booking the villa where the shooting occurred, and supplying the tools, including a hammer to break into the villa. He is also accused of providing transportation for the other alleged offenders, renting a white Toyota Fortuner and a Suzuki XL7, as well as purchasing ferry tickets from Java to Bali. Police allege 22-year-old Coskun and 26-year-old Tupou were the shooters in the attack, with Tupou reportedly purchasing the firearm and disposing of a motorbike used as a getaway vehicle. Coskun is alleged to have helped dispose of the vehicle and purchased clothing for the attack. During the investigation into the alleged murder, police recovered several pieces of evidence in the villa, including two bullet fragments, six bullet casings and 38 bullet shards. Police also claimed to have found the gun used in the alleged attack, which was dumped alongside two magazines with bullets and an empty magazine in a river in Tabanan about 700m from the villa. In a press conference on Thursday, police showed off the weapon in an evidence bag, as well as the sledgehammer allegedly used to break and enter the villa. Police were able to identify the trio by tracking the purchase of the sledgehammer to a store, later linking them to their hired getaway vehicles. Police are yet to establish a motive behind the alleged attack, however believe the men have links to the Melbourne underworld. 'We are still investigating their motive and continue cross-checking the facts,' Inspector General Adityajaya said. If the trio are charged and convicted under Article 340, they could face the death penalty.
