Police urge public help after body discovery
A major investigation is underway after the body of a woman was discovered near railway tracks. Police said the woman was located around 9.45am on Fridsay in Townsville on Railway Ave by a member of the public, who immediately contacted emergency services. The area has been declared a crime scene and detectives are treating the death as suspicious. Detective Acting Inspector Phil Watts said investigators were still working to formally identify the woman and had not yet determined her age. Officers are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage captured between Monday, June 17, and Friday morning around Doorey St and Queens Rd to come forward. 'We're very early on in this investigation so any information from the public would be greatly appreciated,' Inspector Watts said. 'We have a number of investigation areas and (are) following up on a number of different lines of inquiry.' A forensic team remains at the scene conducting a detailed examination, which Inspector Watts said would take time to complete. 'It takes a degree of time and we're still working through that, it has to be done methodically,' he said. 'We're not ruling anything out.' While the cause of death remains unclear, police have reassured the community there is no evidence of an ongoing threat. Inspector Watts said the fact the woman was found in a public location made any information from witnesses or passers-by all the more important. 'Particularly given the case the deceased was located in a public area,' he said. Police have asked that people stay away from Railway Ave until 9pm while the forensic investigation continues. 'We will leave no stone unturned to ascertain what happened here,' Inspector Watts said. Railway Ave has been closed to all traffic, with police cordoning off the road and advising motorists to seek alternative routes. Queensland Rail has temporarily closed the rail line, although train services have not been impacted at this stage. Anyone who was travelling through the area this morning is urged to check their dashcam footage and report anything suspicious to police.

Sydney tradie revealed to be one of three men arrested over fatal shooting of fellow Australian in Bali
Three Australian men have been arrested over the fatal shooting of a fellow Australian national, who was allegedly killed in a targeted incident in Bali. Melbourne man Zivan Radmanovic, 32, died at the scene of the incident at a villa in Munguu, Bali on Friday night local time, while 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim, also from Melbourne, was injured in the shooting. Indonesian authorities have now confirmed three men have been arrested in relation to the shooting after they allegedly attempted to flee the country. One of those men has been identified as Sydney man Darcy Francesco Jenson, who has been arrested in the Indonesian capital Jakarta. Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya said the suspects used a motorbike and cars in their attempted escape. He confirmed one man was intercepted at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Evidence has been gathered and the investigation remains ongoing, the chief inspector said. 'A 9mm firearm is suspected to have been used, but this is still being investigated through ballistic tests and other forensic analyses. We need to examine everything thoroughly. That's why we need the suspects and their testimonies,' Inspector Adityajaya said, according to The Australian. "The South-East Asian country has strict gun laws, and the suspects could face the death penalty if they are charged with premeditated murder. The arrests follow a manhunt by Bali authorities for two people allegedly involved in the shooting, which occurred on the southern side of the island. It was believed the incident may have links to Melbourne's underworld, and injured man Mr Ghanim, who has since been released from hospital, has been linked with organised crime. The attackers allegedly involved in the shooting had Australian accents and escaped the scene on motorbikes, according to witnesses. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade previously told the family of the deceased victim was being provided with consular support. "We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time," a spokesperson had said.

Death penalty looms for Australian trio over Bali villa shooting of Melbourne father Zivan Radmanovic
A third Australian man has been arrested over the Bali villa shooting that left one man dead and another seriously injured. Melbourne father Zivan 'Stipe' Radmanovic, 32, was fatally shot, while 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim was injured when the pair were ambushed during their stay at Villa Casa Santisya in Munggu, in Bali's Badung Regency, in the early hours of Saturday. Two gunmen fled the scene on motorbikes after bashing and shooting both men. On Tuesday, police said one suspect had been arrested while attempting to board a flight at Jakarta International Airport, and another was taken into custody in Singapore. By Wednesday, police confirmed that a third Australian man had been arrested in Singapore too. All three men, identified by police only as 'D', 'C' and 'T', could face the death penalty if convicted, authorities said. Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya said the third man allegedly helped transfer the gunmen into a white Toyota Fortuner, which was later found in Tabanan. The group then switched vehicles to a Suzuki XL7 and travelled to Surabaya in East Java before attempting to leave the country via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta. 'One man was arrested by immigration and personnel from Jakarta police and National police in Jakarta airport,' Adityajaya said. 'The other two people managed to escape but we managed to bring them back by working together with Interpol working in the South-East Asian region.' Police have seized both vehicles, motorbikes, a sledgehammer, and a bloodstained shirt as part of their investigation. The Melbourne men were staying at the villa with their wives and another tourist, occupying all three rooms, when chaos erupted in the early hours of Saturday. According to 30-year-old Gourdeas Jazmyn, her husband Zivan Radmanovic was in the bathroom when a man, dressed in an orange jacket and wearing a dark helmet, burst in and opened fire. Jazmyn hid beneath the covers in bed as she heard her husband scream, followed by a volley of gunshots. Peeking out from under the blanket, she saw the gunman fleeing the bathroom. Moments later, a second attacker, wearing a green jacket, dark mask, and helmet, was seen forcing his way into the neighbouring room by smashing a window, where the second victim, Sanar Ghanim, was staying. The first gunman was also seen entering that room, with witnesses reporting more gunfire soon after. Police later recovered 17 bullet casings, two intact bullets, and 55 projectile fragments from the scene. Radmanovic died at the scene, while Ghanim was rushed to hospital in a serious condition. Witnesses said the gunmen spoke with strong Australian accents, with one reportedly saying, 'I can't start my bike.'
