‘Overwhelming': Plea after Bali shooting
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. A GoFundMe has been set up for Jazmyn Gourdeas after the shooting of Zivan Radmanovic. Supplied Credit: News Corp Australia
'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.

Australian tennis player hit with 10-month ban for anti-doping breach over vitamin infusion
A second Australian tennis player in four months has been hit with a lengthy suspension for breaching the sport's anti-doping rules over intravenous infusion of vitamins. Thomas Fancutt, 30, was provisionally suspended in April but the sport's anti-doping watchdog, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), hit the doubles player with a 10-month ban on Tuesday – a suspension which ends in January before the Australian Open. Fancutt has admitted to using a 'prohibited method' as defined by the ITIA's anti-doping program. Athletes are permitted to use IV drips, but only when fluid is below a certain threshold and within a specific time period. Fancutt's case follows that of Australia's doubles champion Max Purcell who was hit with an 18-month ban in April for breaching the anti-doping rules after ITIA investigators found messages on his mobile phone in which he discussed ways he could justify receiving intravenous infusions. Two-time grand slam doubles champion Purcell was also found by the ITIA to have used a 'prohibited method' – by receiving infusions of more than 500 millilitres in December 2023. In Fancutt's case, the ITIA said the player had received an intravenous infusion over the accepted limit in December, 2024. 'The ITIA sent the player a notice of a potential anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) on 7 March 2025,' the agency said in a statement. 'On 19 March 2025, the player requested to enter into a voluntary provisional suspension, which came into effect immediately. 'Following a full investigation by the ITIA, which included evidence gathering and interviews with the player, Fancutt admitted to the breach, and the ITIA accepted that the breach was not intentional.

Inside Erin Patterson's family life a decade before her notorious mushroom murders
A decade before Erin Patterson became Australia's infamous mushroom murderer, she and her husband Simon were like many young families delicately trying to balance the demands of life and parenthood. At the time, the couple were living and working in Western Australia while raising their then four-year-old son. But in 2013, after spending about six years in the country's west, the family decided to relocate back to their home state of Victoria. Rather than flying between the states, the family drove 1350km along a corrugated sandy track through the red Australian desert as they made their way back east. Now, photos of the trip of a lifetime have surfaced — offering a glimpse into the Patterson family's life before their world would be irreparably fractured just 10 years later by her wicked crimes. The images taken by Simon, an amateur photographer, were shared at the time in a post on a blogging website where he detailed the family's 'Australian Outback Adventure' along the Anne Beadell Hwy, which runs horizontally through Western and South Australia. The pictures show their campsite set up under a starry night sky, the couple's son playing cricket, a camel and plane wreckage they encountered along the way, and shots of the stunning, orange, rugged terrain. 'One of the greatest feelings in the world is camping under the stars in the Australian outback,' he wrote. 'There is nothing like the peace and tranquility, hundreds of miles from civilisation. It's a real privilege to safely pitch a tent with one's family and enjoy a simple campfire meal in the crisp, clear air. 'The view of the Milky Way above is breathtaking and mesmerising, inviting travellers to stare upwards for hours on end.' At the time of the trip, Patterson was 38-years-old and pregnant with the couple's second child. Simon said the family's household possessions followed behind them, transported in containers by rail, as they made the cross-country journey in their 4WD. While the most common west-to-east route across southern part of Australia is the bitumen-sealed Eyre Hwy, Simon said the family had previously crossed the Nullabor Plain via that road and wanted to try a 'more remote' course. The Anne Beadell Hwy runs through the Great Victoria Desert, which was a site for British atomic bomb tests in the 1950s. Simon said they chose campsites 'far' from the bomb test sites, heeding warnings to travellers to avoid spending too much time in areas with possible nuclear radiation exposure. Along their journey, the family came across many camels — introduced in the 1800s from the Middle East and now considered a pest in the Australian outback — as well as the wreckage of a plane carrying census forms that had crashed several years earlier. During their five-day journey, they grappled with no mobile phone coverage, only saw 10 other parties, and relied mostly on resources they had brought with them, topping up their fuel and basic supplies at a small general store roughly mid-way along the route. Simon said their son managed the trip 'very well' as long as he played cricket with him one or twice every day. At her jury trial earlier this year, Patterson told the court she and Simon married in 2007 while living in Melbourne, then packed up their belongings to travel, before finally settling in Western Australia where their son was born in 2009. During their time there, Patterson opened a second-hand bookstore in the small rural town of Pemberton, in the state's southwest, while her husband worked at the local council. 'I spent months travelling around Western Australia collecting books to sell there. I went to a lot of book fairs and libraries and estates selling their old stocks,' Patterson told the jury as she gave evidence on the stand. 'I painted the inside and I bought about 30 or 35 book shelves from IKEA and I got things like the internet and phone set up.' Patterson also told the jury they decided to move back to Victoria due to a number of factors, including her son being extroverted and she had just fallen pregnant and they wanted to be closer to Simon's parents, Don and Gail Patterson. 'We packed up our home in 2013 and it took a few months to come back,' she said. 'We first went to New Zealand for a few weeks and when we got back we stayed with Don and Gail for a good six weeks. 'It was cramped — in that all three of us were in one room, but it didn't matter because Don and Gail were so welcoming. It was a really good experience.' Patterson and Simon permanently separated in 2015, the year after returning to Victoria, after experiencing bouts of splitting and reconciling from as early as 2009. Last month, Patterson, 50, was found guilty of murdering Don, Gail, and Gail's sister Heather Wilkinson after serving up death cap mushroom-laced beef wellingtons at a family lunch at her Leongatha home, in Victoria's Gippsland, on 29 July 2023. She was also found guilty of the attempted murder of Heather's husband Ian Wilkinson, who attended the lunch but survived. She will be sentenced later this year.
