Arrests Made Following Fatal Shooting of Australian in Bali

Bali officials have arrested two individuals linked to the fatal shooting of Australian Zivan Radmanovic, who was killed in his villa. The suspects, believed to have spoken with strong Australian accents, are currently in custody as the investigation continues into this violent crime.

Bali police have confirmed the arrest of two individuals in connection with the shooting that resulted in the death of an Australian national and left another seriously injured. The victim, Zivan Radmanovic, 32, was shot late Saturday night during a break-in at his villa in Munggu, a well-known area of the Indonesian tourist destination.

Initial reports indicate that one suspect was apprehended in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, while the second was captured abroad. Authorities have not disclosed further details regarding the suspects as the investigation is ongoing. Radmanovic's wife described a harrowing scene where she was awakened by her husband’s screams and subsequently found his body in the bathroom.

The other victim, 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim, sustained gunshot wounds and is receiving medical treatment. Injuries from an apparent beating were also noted, as Ghanim's wife claimed to have witnessed the attack. Notably, both wives escaped physical harm during the incident.

Police are gathering evidence, having recovered 17 bullet casings, two unspent bullets, and 55 bullet fragments from the crime scene. Witnesses report that the assailants communicated in English, exhibiting strong Australian accents. Descriptions revealed one suspect donned an orange jacket paired with a dark helmet, while the other wore a dark green jacket and mask.

The incident, which unfolded in Bali’s Badung region—a hotspot frequented by tourists—has raised alarms, as violent crimes in the area are rare amid the annual influx of millions of visitors.
