Indonesian court sentences 3 men for shooting death of fellow Australian in Bali
Two gunmen received 16-year sentences and the organiser 12 years for the fatal shooting linked to a debt dispute, raising concerns over firearm violence in Bali.
- On Monday in Bali's Denpasar court, Paea I Middlemore Tupou and Mevlut Coskun were each sentenced to 16 years in Korobokan prison for murder and firearm offences.
- During the trial, Tupou said he mistook Radmanovic for Ghanim, claiming they were sent to warn Ghanim over a debt after being offered money by an Australian man they would not name.
- In the early hours of June 14, two masked gunmen, Mevlut Coskun and Paea I Middlemore Tupou, forced entry to Villa Casa Santisya and shot Zivan Radmanovic three times before fleeing.
- Outside court, Sary Latief said 'they had high hopes for the judges to give higher sentences'; lawyers for the defendants said they would consider appeals in coming days.
- Judges warned the case raised concern on Bali, Indonesia, where firearm crimes are rare, and authorities said arrests followed an international manhunt with suspects caught in Jakarta, Singapore, and Cambodia.
