BADUNG, June 27 — Three Australian men have been formally charged with premeditated murder in Bali, a crime that carries the death penalty in Indonesia, following a fatal shooting earlier this month that killed one Australian and seriously injured another.<\/p>\n

The suspects — Tupou Pasa Midolmore, 37, Coskun Mevlut, 23, and Darcy Francesco Jenson, 37 — were presented to the media on Thursday, handcuffed and dressed in orange prison uniforms and balaclavas, according to a report published in the Jakarta Globe<\/em> today.<\/p>\n

“This was a carefully planned, organised attack — not a spontaneous act,” said Bali Police Chief Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya, describing the shooting as a professional operation carried out with clear intent.<\/p>\n

The incident took place on June 14 at Villa Casa Santisya in Badung, where the trio allegedly arrived on two motorbikes, attacked the victims, and escaped in separate vehicles.<\/p>\n

The suspects fled Bali through multiple provinces, eventually reaching Sidoarjo in East Java before taking a bus to Jakarta; police say they planned to flee the country via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.<\/p>\n

One suspect was arrested in Jakarta, while the other two were apprehended in Singapore with the help of local authorities.<\/p>\n

The shooting claimed the life of Zivan Radmanovic, 32, and left 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim hospitalised with serious injuries, both of whom are Australian nationals.<\/p>\n

According to police, Jenson masterminded the operation, securing accommodation, arranging transport, purchasing a hammer to break into the villa, and preparing travel documents for their escape.<\/p>\n

Midolmore and Mevlut are alleged to have carried out the assault, with investigators saying the men posed as motorbike taxi riders by wearing ride-hailing service jackets to approach the villa without raising suspicion.<\/p>\n

While the investigation has advanced, police have yet to determine the motive behind the attack and are continuing to gather evidence.<\/p>\n

The trio face charges under Article 340 of Indonesia’s Criminal Code for premeditated murder, and under the firearms law for illegal possession of firearms, both of which carry severe penalties.<\/p>\n
