Three Australian men accused of killing a Melbourne man in a Bali villa earlier this year will be indicted on murder charges, potentially facing the death penalty.<\/p>\n

Zivan Radmanovic, 32, was killed just after midnight on June 13 at a villa near Munggu Beach, north of Canggu.<\/p>\n

Police allege Mr Radmanovic was killed when two Australian men stormed the villa<\/a>, shooting him and another man, 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim from Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Mr Ghanim survived the attack.<\/p>\n

Mr Radmanovic’s partner told police she woke up and heard her husband screaming.<\/p>\n

Indonesian police reveal more details of fatal shooting of Australian man in Bali <\/a><\/p>\n

Police say that two Australians are suspected of arriving on a scooter and opening fire, and another of facilitating the crime.<\/p>\n

She said she hid under a blanket while she heard multiple gunshots.<\/p>\n

Police have alleged the murder was planned by three Australians<\/a>, Darcy Jenson, Paea-I-Middlemore Tupou and Coskun Mevlut, with the latter two carrying out the attack.<\/p>\n

In July all three men were handcuffed and forced to re-enact the alleged shooting, as police carried out their investigation.<\/p>\n

Police have not yet revealed a suspected motive for the shooting.<\/p>\n

“We’ll hear that together in court. I can’t make any statements before the facts are established at trial,” Badung Police Chief Arif Batubara said.<\/p>\n

“They were cooperative throughout the process, but I can’t disclose any further details, this still needs to be examined and tested in court.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the three were handed over to Bali’s prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The case will proceed to trial in Bali, where the three are expected to be indicted on murder charges and premeditated murder charges.<\/p>\n

If convicted of premeditated murder by the court, the three men could face the death penalty.<\/p>\n

Police allege Darcy Jenson, 27, prepared the attack, providing a sledgehammer to break into the villa, providing cars and motorbikes for the other two and organising a villa.<\/p>\n

Police allege Paea-I-Middlemore Tupou, 27, and Coskun Mevlut, 22, carried out the attack at the villa.<\/p>\n

Mr Jenson was arrested at a Jakarta airport, while the other two were arrested in Cambodia and returned to Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Following the handover, lawyers for Mr Jenson told reporters that their client had been cooperating with police and that he was helping a friend, without knowing the alleged murder would take place.<\/p>\n

“The most important thing is he has been cooperative with the process,” they said.<\/p>\n

“He feels remorse because somebody ended up dying.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three Australian men accused of killing a Melbourne man in a Bali villa earlier this year will be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,13146,131631,131630,4805,44,131629],"class_list":["post-214743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bali","tag-coskun-mevlut","tag-darcy-jenson","tag-indonesia","tag-news","tag-zivan-radmanovic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
