Jazmyn Gourdeas fundraiser after Zivan Radmanovic Bali shooting
The wife of Bali shooting victim Zivan Radmanovic is still in Indonesia, a close friend has revealed in a desperate public plea for support.
Mr Radmanovic, 32, was shot and killed at a villa at the Badung Regency north of Kuta on Saturday.
His wife Jazmyn Gourdeas was in the villa but not physically injured.
A second man Sanar Ghanim, 34, was also shot during the attack.
An image shows Mr Ghanim being tended to by paramedics with his feet and face covered in blood.
Now, a fundraiser has been launched for Ms Gourdeas, with close family friend Jamie Lee revealing new details about the aftermath of the tragedy.
'This sudden and devastating loss has left Jazmyn a single mother to six beautiful children, aged from just 9 months to 13 years,' the fundraiser states.
'While only married for just under a year, the couple were deeply in love and shared a family together.

'Now Jazmyn faces the unimaginable challenge of caring for their large family alone, including three children diagnosed with epilepsy who require ongoing medication, therapies and frequent medical appointments.'
Ms Lee said Ms Gourdeas remained in Indonesia as the investigation into the killing progresses, and her family were taking care of the children in Australia.
The financial burden facing Ms Gourdeas would now be 'overwhelming', she added.
'Zivan was a kind, hardworking man devoted to his family,' she said.
'His loss leaves a huge hole in their lives, but together, we can help Jazmyn and her children find a way forward.
'Your donation – no matter the size – will help provide stability, care and comfort to a grieving family facing an uncertain future.'
As of Wednesday morning, $13,800 had been raised from a $20,000 target.

Media organisation Nusa Bali reported that one of the alleged offenders was arrested in Jakarta, while another person was captured abroad and was being taken to the Indonesian capital.
Indonesian National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo held a press conference in Bali on Tuesday at the Jembrana Police Headquarters.
'Regarding the shooting involving Australian citizens, I have received a report from the Bali Police Chief. One suspect has been secured in Jakarta, and another is on the way from overseas,' the police chief told media.
'A more detailed statement will be released by Bali Police.
'What I can say for now is that this case was solved through co-operation between our Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim), Immigration, and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).'.
General Sigit did not release any information about identity of the alleged shooters but told media that Bali Regional Police would provide more detailed information.
It was reported there were two alleged offenders who might be Australian and the gunmen used firearms during the attack.
It was not clear what the motive was behind the attack.
Bali Regional Police Chief Daniel Adityajaya said his department would provide an update later.
'Once the evidence and documentation are complete, Bali Police will issue an official statement to the public and media,' he said.

Australia grants asylum to HK pro-democracy activist
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Ted Hui has been granted asylum in Australia, the former MP says, more than four years after he left Hong Kong where he faces criminal charges over the 2019 pro-democracy protests. Hui said he received written notice from the Australian Department of Home Affairs on Friday approving his claim and that his wife, children and parents were also granted visas. "When people around me say 'congratulations' to me, although I politely thank them, I can't help but feel sad in my heart. How to congratulate a political refugee who misses his home town?" he said in a Facebook post on Saturday. "If it weren't for political persecution, I would never have thought of living in a foreign land. Immigrants can always return to their home towns to visit relatives at any time; exiles have no home." The Home Affairs Department did not immediately respond to emailed questions sent after business hours. The Hong Kong government and China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to questions about the decision. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Beijing in July as part of his administration's years-long push to improve ties with China. A former Democratic Party MP, Hui left Hong Kong in late 2020 after facing criminal charges over the 2019 pro-democracy protests. In 2023 Hong Kong accused him and seven others of national security offences, including incitement to secession, and put $HK1 million ($A196,000) bounties on their heads. Australia said it was disappointed by the decision at the time and concerned about the law. Pro-democracy businessman Jimmy Lai is on trial in Hong Kong on charges related to a national security law imposed by Beijing and alleged sedition.

Beijing accuses Australia of fabricating Chinese espionage threat
Beijing has accused Australia of fabricating the threat of espionage – after a Chinese woman was charged with foreign interference in Canberra. In a statement, China's Ministry of State Security labelled itself as an innocent victim being accused of 'unfounded claims' about foreign spying. It went on to say in recent years, Beijing had uncovered several Australian-instigated spies and 'acted in accordance with the law' to protect its sovereignty. The statement also suggested some figures in Canberra don't want to see a healthy relationship with China.
