Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Australian national Zivan Radmanovic at a villa in Bali’s Badung district, an area popular with tourists. The incident occurred just after midnight on Saturday when two masked men broke into the villa, shooting Radmanovic, 32, and seriously injuring another Australian, Sanar Ghanim, aged 34. Radmanovic’s wife was awakened by his screams and later found his body in the bathroom, while Ghanim’s wife also witnessed the attack, but both women escaped unharmed.

Authorities reported that one suspect was apprehended in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, and the other was detained overseas before being brought back to Jakarta under police supervision. The arrests were the result of cooperation between Indonesian police, immigration agencies, and the Australian Federal Police. The national police chief, Listyo Sigit Prabowo, confirmed the arrests but declined to provide further details about the suspects or the overseas location involved.

According to witness statements, the attackers arrived at the villa on a scooter, wearing helmets and masks, and communicated in English with a strong Australian accent. Investigators recovered 17 bullet shells, two intact projectiles, and 55 bullet fragments from the scene, with images showing bullet holes in the villa’s windows and bloodstains on the floor. Witnesses described one suspect in an orange jacket and another in dark green, both with helmets, and recalled hearing one say, “I can’t start my bike,” before fleeing on a scooter.

Gun crime is rare in Bali, a destination that attracts millions of international tourists each year, and the island enforces strict laws on illegal gun possession. The shocking nature of the attack has raised concerns among both locals and visitors, prompting calls for increased security measures in tourist hotspots. Local authorities have assured the public that they are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of residents and tourists alike. Police are continuing their investigation into the motive behind the attack and are expected to release further details following a scheduled press conference. The case has drawn significant media attention in both Indonesia and Australia, with many awaiting updates on the suspects’ identities and possible connections to organized crime.
