Bali shooting suspects moved to notorious Kerobokan Prison
The suspects in an alleged shooting murder of a Melbourne man in Bali have been transferred to the island's most notorious prison as police weigh formal charges.
Australians Darcy Jensen, 27, Mevlut Coskun, 22, and Paea I Middlemore Tupou, 26, are being held over the June 13 death of Zivan 'Stipe' Radmanovic
Radmanovic's friend, Sanar Ghanim, was also shot when gunmen stormed their a villa near Munggu Beach but survived.
Police previously revealed they would allege Sydney plumber Mr Jenson organised getaway vehicles and equipment while Mr Tupou and Mr Coskun carried out the attacks.
The trio – dubbed the Bali 3 – were forced into a re-enactment by local police on Wednesday, and they were pictured wearing orange shirts with balaclavas and signs reading 'suspect 1', 'suspect 2' and 'suspect 3'.
Badung Police chief Arif Batubara said after the re-enactments, the men were taken to Bali's largest prison, which has previously held high-profile inmates such as members of the Bali Bombers, Bali 9 and Schapelle Corby.
'After the reconstruction process ran smoothly and as planned, we hand over or detain the three suspects at Kerobokan Prison for further detention process,' he said.
No charges have been laid, but police are reported to be considering charges of premeditated murder, which can carry the death penalty in Indonesia.
Mr Coskun told 7News as he was being escorted from the re-enactment that he was 'not guilty' and would fight any charges.
Asked what the conditions were like in custody, he replied 'terrible'.
Police said last week's re-enactment was conducted to 'clarify each suspect's role in the incident, which resulted in serious injuries, and as part of the ongoing investigation'.
The shooting has been linked to tensions in Melbourne's underworld and has been described as 'well organised' by Balinese police.
'We are certain these three are the perpetrators. They are Australian nationals according to their passports,' Bali Police Chief Daniel Adityajaya said.
