23yo Aussie found dead in Thailand
A young Australian man has been found dead in a Thai hotel room reportedly one day before he was set to return home. According to local outlet 'Phuket News', police found the 23-year-old man in his hotel bed in Tambon Thepkrasatths wearing a black T-shirt and still holding his mobile phone. Phuket News reported there were no signs of a disturbance, no evidence of a break-in, and no visible injuries indicating foul play, although police did observe that his elbow and wrist had been bandaged. Friends told authorities these injuries were the result of a recent motorbike accident. An investigation officer with the local station received a call at around 10am from a nurse at Thalang Hospital, reporting the death of the 23-year-old. Officers later identified the man and confirmed that he had checked into the hotel on Sunday July 20 and was scheduled to check out on July 24. Police said the Australian Consulate in Phuket had been notified and a forensic doctor attended to examine the scene. The man's body was taken to Vachira Phuket Hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the cause of death. Police said they were continuing their investigation. The Phuket News is withholding the man's name pending confirmation that his next of kin have been notified. Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said they were unable to comment until those further details were released.

Australian man shot dead at a villa on the tourist island of Bali
Authorities were searching Saturday for two Australian gunmen suspected of fatally shooting an Australian tourist and injuring another at a villa on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. The shooting just after midnight on Friday at Villa Casa Santisya near Munggu Beach in the district of Badung killed Zivan Radmanovic, 32, from Melbourne. The second victim, who is 34 and also from Melbourne was beaten, said Badung Police chief Arif Batubara. 'We cannot yet determine the motive,' Batubara said, adding that an investigation is underway. The two Australians were rushed to hospitals in Denpasar, the provincial capital. According to police, the villa had only three rooms occupied with a total of five guests when the shooting happened. The two victims' wives were also there and another foreign tourist, Batubara said. Radmanovic was shot in a bathroom, where police found 17 bullet casings and two intact bullets. At least three witnesses at the villa told investigators that two gunmen, one wearing orange jacket with a dark helmet and another wearing a dark green jacket, a black mask and a dark helmet, arrived on a scooter at the villa around midnight. Radmanovic's wife, Gourdeas Jazmyn, 30, told police that she suddenly woke up when she heard her husband screaming. She cowered under a blanket when she heard multiple gunshots. She later found her husband's body and the injured Australian, whose wife has also testified to seeing the attackers. The Australian Consulate in Bali has been contacted by authorities and an autopsy for further investigation is still waiting permission from the family of the victim, Batubara said.
