Two people have been arrested, one in Jakarta and one overseas, over the alleged shooting of two Australians by a hit squad at a Bali villa.
Zivan ‘Stipe’ Radmanovic, 35, and Sanar Ghanim, 34, were shot just after midnight on Saturday at a villa in Munggu – in Badung Regency in Bali’s south – in an attack believed to be linked to Melbourne‘s feuding Middle Eastern crime syndicates.
Radmanovic died at the scene after he was shot twice in the chest and once in the foot, while Ghanim was rushed to Kuta’s BIMC Hospital with gunshot wounds and cuts.
Indonesian Police Chief Listyo Budi Prabowo told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday that two people were in custody over the shooting.
‘One of them is already in Jakarta, while the other is currently on the way to Jakarta from overseas,’ Mr Budi said.
‘A more detailed statement will later be officially issued by the Bali Regional Police.
‘This effort is a joint operation involving the Criminal Investigation unit of the Indonesian National Police, Immigration, and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).’
Ghanim, the survivor of the shooting, is the former partner of slain Melbourne gangland boss Carl Williams’s stepdaughter Danielle Stephens and is not cooperating with investigators.
The Radmanovic family has now signed the paperwork for an autopsy to be carried out, after earlier delaying the process.
