Man killed in NSW light plane crash weeks after another fatality
A man has died in a light plane crash in NSW's west. Emergency services were called to D-Block Rd in Balranald, 130km west of Hay, about 2pm on Wednesday. NSW Ambulance paramedics provided treatment at the scene but the man could not be saved. While formal identification is yet to take place, the man is believed to be aged in his 50s. Officers from the Barrier Police District remain at the scene and have established a crime scene. A report will be prepared for the Coroner and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau will conduct an investigation into the cause of the crash. It comes after the body of a man was found in the wreckage of a plane that went missing in the Snowy Mountains on July 15. The body was found on July 18 and police believe it is the remains of pilot David Stephens. 'While he is yet to be formally identified, police believe the body is that of the missing pilot,' NSW police said in a statement. The 74-year-old, an experienced pilot from Bega, was flying the 1966 Beechcraft Debonair plane from Wangaratta in Victoria to Moruya Airport on the NSW South Coast when he lost contact.

Colombian faces deportation over Canada meth import
A Colombian man faces deportation after being found guilty of possessing nine kilograms of methamphetamine smuggled from Canada. Daniel Ricardo Pastor Pastor was found guilty on Wednesday in the Queensland Supreme Court of possessing drugs in a quantity exceeding 200 grams. Justice Michael Copley told Pastor Pastor he had engaged in "reprehensible" behaviour by enlisting a person to unknowingly help him transport what he thought was drugs. "You were cunning enough to take precautions ... you used an innocent person to assist you so you could get some money to move drugs from one (Brisbane suburb) to another," Justice Copley said. Crown prosecutor Jacob Robson earlier told the jury the Australian Border Force had found 12kg of substance containing 8.99kg of pure methamphetamine in a consignment from Canada. Mr Robson said the drug was "hidden in a complex manner" in five vehicle drive shafts. Border Force removed the drugs and Pastor Pastor took delivery of the drive shafts in March 2021, taking them to a self-storage unit in the inner-Brisbane suburb of Newstead. Defence barrister Matthew Jackson told the jury it was reasonable to believe that Pastor Pastor had no knowledge of the drugs. The jury heard Pastor Pastor had granted police access to his encrypted text messages. "This is the conduct of an innocent man," Mr Jackson said. "It might be a suspicious way to get car parts, but the charge says possession of dangerous drugs and not car parts." The jury took about two hours to reach their verdict following a trial that lasted two-and-a-half days this week. The 35-year-old Gold Coast delivery driver was previously convicted of drug possession and aiding in the import of a commercial quantity of drugs. The Court of Appeal overturned both convictions in October 2024 due to doubts over his knowledge of the import. Justice Copley accepted Mr Jackson's submission that Pastor Pastor, though an economic migrant, faced hardship from deportation proceedings. Pastor Pastor was sentenced to five years imprisonment that was immediately suspended due to him already spending two years and one month in custody. As a non-Australian citizen, Pastor Pastor faces mandatory visa cancellation and deportation proceedings due to serving a custodial sentence of 12 months or more.

Sydney plumber arrested over Bali murder was just helping a friend, lawyer says
Jupiter G. Lalwani, another lawyer acting for Jenson, said the 27-year-old was depressed and concerned about the prospect of facing the death penalty. 'He is concerned that it might happen, that he might actually be sentenced to death,' Lalwani said. 'At the moment, he is just trying to co-operate the best that he can.' Bali police investigators retraced the steps of Jenson, Coskun and Tupou over several hours on Wednesday, in an attempt to reconstruct how the shooting unfolded. The men were restrained, put in armoured vehicles and taken to several locations on the southern end of the holiday island, where officers used evidence from witnesses, CCTV footage, and forensic crews to recreate the events around June 14. Images from one re-enactment showed the men wearing ballistic vests over a bright orange T-shirt, shorts and thongs, as they stood next to a vehicle on a muddy road. All three had shackled hands and feet, and wore signs around their neck identifying them as 'tersangka' – the Indonesian word for suspect. During one re-enactment, Coskun and Tupou were taken to a road leading to Villa Casa Santisya, the luxury accommodation where Radmanovic was killed. There, an officer read out the evidence from a witness, who claims he spotted two men on motorbikes on his way to buy cigarettes on the night of the shooting. Coskun and Tupou, their hands tied and faces obscured by a balaclava, were then taken to the villa, where police allege the men used a large hammer to break in, before making their way towards the bathroom and shooting Radmanovic. The father of six had only been on the holiday island for two days when he was fatally shot, as his wife, Jazmyn Gourdeas, hid under the covers inside the luxury villa. The couple had arrived in Bali on June 12 and planned to stay just five days with Gourdeas' sister, Daniella Gourdeas, and her partner, 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim, to celebrate Jazmyn's 30th birthday. As part of the re-enactment at the villa, police also described how one of the men entered the room looking for Ghanim and proceeded to shoot him. The 34-year-old was hit in the leg and beaten during the targeted attack, but survived. He has since returned to Melbourne. Coskun and Tupou were then led out of the villa and ushered into an armoured vehicle, before being taken to the neighbouring district of Tabanan, where they are alleged to have ditched the rented motorbikes used to drive to the villa. Police believe the man jumped in a car before dumping it in the area and switching to a second vehicle. Asked by reporters about the motivation behind the attack, Badung police chief Arif Batubara said the investigation was still ongoing, and the motive would form part of the court proceedings. 'It will be revealed during court,' he said. Batubara said that while the three Australian men had been co-operative with the re-enactments, they were based on the testimony from witnesses, CCTV footage, and forensic samples, including blood and DNA collected from the scene. The re-enactments also included visiting a shop where Jenson is believed to have bought the hammer used to break into the villa, a Circle K convenience store where Tupou bought cigarettes, and Lotus Villa, where two of the alleged offenders stayed. They were supervised by prosecutors, police, and forensic experts. Police arrested Jenson in Jakarta last month, as he attempted to leave the country for Cambodia via Singapore. Coskun, a convicted drug dealer, and Tupou were detained in Singapore and Cambodia, respectively, the following day. All three men have since been charged with premeditated murder, as well as the 'embezzlement' or theft of several rental vehicles, according to local police.
