‘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.
