An Australian man has been killed and another injured in a shooting at a villa in Bali.
Zivan Radmanovic, 32, and Sanar Ghanim, 34, were allegedly 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 incident unfolded.
Mr Radmanovic died at the scene, while Mr Ghanim was injured and rushed to BIMC hospital for treatment. Mr Ghanim is reportedly the former partner of underworld figure Roberta Williams’ daughter Danielle.
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 victim 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.
The Bali Tribune reported the Mr Radmanovic’s wife, 30-year-old Gourdeas Jazmyn, was sleeping when she heard her husband screaming at about 12.15am.
Peeking out from behind a blanket, she saw the man with the orange jacket and the other man allegedly shooting at her husband while he was in the bathroom.

A few moments later, she heard the sound of gunfire and Mr Ghanim screaming from his room.
It’s understood Mr Ghanim was shot seven times before Mr Radmanovic’s wife tried to stop the bleeding as they waited for emergency services to arrive.
Mr Ghamin is reported to be the former partner of Carl Williams’ stepdaughter Danielle Stephens – who he shares a child with.
The 34-year-old had previously served time in a maximums security prison in Victoria following the 2014 shooting of associate Serkan Kala.
Mr Ghamin, 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.
