‘Bali three' murder suspects seen together for first time after brutal death of Australian Zivan Radmanovic
The 'Bali 3' Australian murder suspects were paraded by Indonesian police in front of media at the Badung Police Station on Thursday night.
It is the first time the entire trio have been seen since being arrested on suspicion of the brutal ambush murder of 32-year-old Melbourne father Zivan Radmanovic in his Bali villa on June 14.
The Australian men in their 20s were frog-marched by Indonesian police, handcuffed, chains, in balaclavas, and orange prison suits.
Bali's chief of Police, Daniel Atitayajaya, alleged to the media that Melbourne men 22-year-old Mevlut Coskun and Paea-I-Middlemore, 26, were the 'executors.'
He said 27-year-old Sydney man, Darcy Francesco Jenson, is suspected of helping plan and facilitate the murder, including by providing a sledgehammer and hire cars for the getaway.
The men are yet to be charged but an investigation is underway with the aim of seeing all three charged over a 'planned murder' under Article 340, which carries the death penalty.
Investigators say the motive is not yet clear but the victims are known to have links to Melbourne's criminal underworld.
Police on Thursday also showed off the alleged murder weapon, which had been missing until now, with the handgun allegedly found dumped in a Bali river in Tabanan.
Investigators further detailing how the trio were tracked after a sledgehammer left at the scene was tracked to a store and then linked to the men and their hire-car getaway vehicles.
One car allegedly had a GPS which was tracked as the men allegedly tried fleeing Bali.

Police still investigating if Bali shooting of Australian man was a botched hit
Singapore/Bali: Bali police say they are still investigating whether an Australian man gunned down inside a luxury villa was the intended target or the victim of a botched hit. Zivan Radmanovic was shot dead by masked intruders in the early hours of June 14 as his terrified wife, Jazmyn Gourdeas, hid under the covers. The couple was in Bali for both a belated honeymoon and to celebrate Gourdeas' 30th birthday, according to her lawyers. Another Melbourne man, 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim, the former partner of Danielle Stephens, who is the stepdaughter of slain underworld figure Carl Williams, was shot in the leg and beaten during the same attack inside the villa and survived. Dudut Rustyadi, a forensic doctor at Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar, said Radmanovic was shot in the chest, stomach, buttock and palm. As is customary in Bali, the three Australians who were detained within days of the killing, and then charged with pre-meditated murder, were paraded before the media on Tuesday in handcuffs, masks and prison-orange T-shirts. Police revealed they would allege Sydney plumber, Darcy Francesco Jenson, 27, organised the rental vehicles and waited in a Ford Ranger outside the villa while Paea I Middlemore Tupou and Mevlut Coskun carried out the killing. Investigators alleged that after the shooting, the two executioners fled on rented motorbikes and later joined Jenson in the car, which was found dumped in the Tabanan area.
