Three Australians jailed over Bali shooting that killed Melbourne man

A court on Bali has sentenced three Australian citizens over the shooting death of 32-year-old Melbourne man Zivan Radmanovic. Mevlut Coskun, Paea I Middlemore Tupou and Darcy Jenson were convicted; another man, Sanar Ghanim, was shot and beaten but survived the attack.

Coskun, 22, and Tupou, 27, received 16-year terms at Denpasar district court, while Jenson, 24, was given 12 years. Prosecutors said Jenson organised the attack and the others carried it out; the defendants said they had been paid by a man they would not identify and maintained the June 2025 shooting was not intentional amid chaotic circumstances.

A coroner found Radmanovic suffered three gunshot wounds and blunt-force trauma. Radmanovic had been in Bali to celebrate his wife, Jazmyn Gourdeas’s, birthday with her sister and Ghanim, who was her sister’s partner. Jenson was detained at Jakarta’s Soekarno Hatta airport in June as he tried to leave the country; Coskun and Tupou were arrested in Singapore and Cambodia with Interpol assistance.
