STORYLINE:
Indonesian police investigating the fatal shooting of an Australian tourist at a villa on the resort island of Bali said Monday that they found the second gun used by the shooters and their scientific investigation confirmed the victim “was targeted.”
Zivan Radmanovic, a 32-year-old from Melbourne, was killed just after midnight on June 13 at a villa near Munggu Beach in Bali’s Badung district. A second man, a 34-year-old from Melbourne, was left beaten in the attack.
Police previously announced that they had arrested three Australian men, and said their investigation which was supported by the Australian Federal Police has enough evidence to bring the men to trial on charges of premeditated murder, which could carry a life sentence or the death penalty.
Twenty days after the attack, police investigators have been scrambling to piece together how a clutch of Australians far from home came to be at the center of one of the most violent gangland shootings in Bali.
Investigators retrieved the second gun on July 8 just about 50 meters (yards) from where they found the first gun that was thrown away by the suspects near a rice field, about 700 meters (yards) from the villa, said local police chief Muhammad Arif Batubara.
However, he said that from evidence on the ground and supported by scientific investigation led police to believe the attack “was targeted” and “we will investigate any potential links to any other incidents.”
Witnesses at the villa told investigators that two gunmen in dark helmets and green jackets arrived on two scooters at the villa around midnight. Radmanovic was shot in a bathroom of his room, where police found 18 bullet casings and two intact bullets.
Radmanovic’s partner, Jazmyn Gourdeas, 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 other injured Australian, whose wife also testified to seeing the attackers. The women are sisters.
Police did not detail how they believe the suspects obtained the weapons, which are heavily regulated in Indonesia.
