Indonesian police have arrested three Australian men in connection with a deadly shooting at a villa in Bali, which claimed the life of a fourth Australian and left another seriously injured, according to Bali police chief Daniel Adityajaya on Wednesday.
The arrests were made on Tuesday, with the suspects accused of planning and carrying out the shooting. They now face charges of premeditated murder, which could carry the death penalty if proven. Police did not release their names, identifying them only by the initials C, D, and T.
The shooting occurred just after midnight on Saturday and resulted in the death of 32-year-old Zivan Radmanovic. Another man, 35-year-old Sanar Ghanim, sustained serious injuries.
Authorities initially apprehended one suspect at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta airport as he attempted to leave the country. The other two were arrested abroad with the help of Interpol, though their exact locations were not disclosed.
Police also recovered several items linked to the crime, including a 9-mm handgun, a motorcycle, and two getaway vehicles. Investigators have not revealed a motive and say they are still working to identify a possible mastermind behind the incident.
