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 under way. The two Australians were rushed to hospitals in Denpasar, the provincial capital.

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 Australian gunmen, one wearing an 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.

Terrified mum cowered behind the bedsheets as a Melbourne gangland hit squad burst into Bali villa and blasted her husband to death before gunning down his Underbelly-linked mate
A terrified mum watched helplessly as her Australian husband was shot dead and his gangland-linked mate injured in a suspected gangland execution at a villa in Bali. Zivan Radmanovic, 32, and Sanar Ghanim, 34, were shot on Friday night at a villa in Munggu, in the Badung Regency in the south of the island. It's understood the pair, both from Melbourne, had been living at Villa Casa Santisya when the suspected underworld hit squad burst in. Radmanovic died at the scene, while Ghanim - former partner of Danielle Stephens, stepdaughter of slain Melbourne Underbelly gangland identity Carl Williams - was injured. Ghanim is now fighting for his life in Kuta's BIMC Hospital after he was reportedly shot seven times in the brazen attack by two men with 'thick Australian accents'. The Bali Tribune reported the Radmanovic's wife, 30-year-old Jazmyn Gourdeas, was sleeping when she heard her husband screaming at about 12.15am. Peeking out from behind a blanket, she saw a man wearing an orange jacket and a second man gunning down her husband in the toilet. Images from the villa show a man, believed to be Radmanovic, lying motionless next to a toilet. Moments later, Ms Gourdeas heard more gunfire before Ghanim screamed. It's understood Ghanim suffered seven gunshot wounds in his bed before Ms Gourdeas tried to stop the bleeding as they waited for emergency services to arrive. '[She] ran out of the room and shouted when she saw Sanar was bleeding and went back to the toilet to check her husband's condition by checking his pulse,' an unnamed Bali Police officer told local media. 'After seeing the perpetrator escape outside the villa, this witness helped the victim of Sanar stop the bleeding.' A fourth person in the villa - believed to be another family member - told police she saw a gunman in a green jacket wearing a mask and a helmet burst into their room. She heard more gunshots and a window being smashed before the hit squad ran from room to room in the villa as she fled for her life. 'The witness ran out the villa before she saw two motorcycles parked outside while she heard more gunshots,' added the police officer. '[She ran to] the main road where she asked for help.' By the time bystanders had calmed her down and taken her back to the villa, police were already on the scene. The gangland connection has fuelled speculation the shooting was a targeted attack. Badung Police chief Arif Batubara confirmed the shooting on Saturday. 'Yes, It's true that a shooting incident was happened. There are two victims, Australian nationals. The victims are as Zivan Radmanovic and Sanar Ghanim,' Mr Batubara said. Mr Batubara said he was unable to provide any more details about the incident as an investigation was still underway. 'We are now working on investigation. We are trying to find out witnesses that may see the incident,' Mr Batubara said. He added that police have yet to identify the gunman and are unsure whether they are Indonesian or a foreigner. When asked about a motive for the shooting, Mr Batubara declined to comment and urged the public to wait until police finished the investigation. Police have yet to make an arrest in connection to the shooting. It's understood two men with 'thick Australian accents' were allegedly involved in the shooting, the Bali Tribune reported. Witnesses saw one of the men wearing a bight orange jacket with a black helmet before he fled the scene on a motorbike. While the second man, also riding a motorbike, was wearing a green jacket, dark helmet and a dark mask. Mr Ghamin had previously served time in a maximum security prison in Victoria following the 2014 shooting of associate Serkan Kala. The 34-year-old, along with his co-accused, pleaded guilty to shooting Mr Kala, who had argued with them at a gym before a later meeting where Ms Stephens was present. Ms Stephens also faced charges over the incident, however the charges were later dropped. Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to come forward. Photos taken at the scene showed the area taped off, while a trail of blood stained the step at the doorway to the villa. Local police were at the villa on Saturday examining the scene for evidence. Mr Radmanovic's body was taken to Prof. Ngoerah Hospital in Bali for an autopsy.
