DENPASAR – Australian shooting in Bali has shocked the public after a fatal incident left one man dead and another injured at a luxury villa in Badung, Bali. The shooting took place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at around 12:20 AM WITA at CA Villa, located in Munggu Village, Mengwi District.

The victim, Zivan Radmanovic (32), was confirmed dead at the scene. He was known to have strong ties to Melbourne, Australia. The injured survivor, Sanar Ghanim, also from Melbourne, is currently receiving intensive care at BIMC Hospital in Kuta.

Chronology of the Shooting: From Midnight Screams to the Gunman’s Escape

According to official police reports and eyewitnesses, the incident unfolded shortly after midnight when Radmanovic’s wife, Gourdeas Jazmyn, was awakened by her husband’s scream.

Though she covered her face, she claimed to have seen a man wearing a bright orange jacket and a dark helmet. The man shot her husband inside the bathroom and then fled the room. Moments later, she heard another gunshot and Ghanim screaming from another room.

Running out of the bedroom, Gourdeas found her husband lying motionless on the floor and Ghanim badly injured. She checked her husband’s pulse—he had none—and then tried to stop Ghanim’s bleeding with first aid.

Eyewitness Reports: Clues About the Gunman

A witness outside the villa reported seeing a suspicious man on a scooter, wearing a green jacket similar to ride-hailing drivers, a dark helmet, and a face mask. The man was heard saying, “I can’t start my bike” with a strong Australian accent before he left the scene.

This detail is now a key part of the ongoing investigation by Bali police.

Victims’ Condition and Police Action

Zivan Radmanovic was declared dead at the scene, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. According to the Badung Police and Bali Police forensic team (Inafis), his injuries included:

• One gunshot wound to the right sole
• Two gunshot wounds to the left chest
• Lacerations to his left temple, nose, and shoulder

Sanar Ghanim, the surviving victim, is being treated at BIMC Hospital. Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has confirmed it is providing consular assistance to the deceased victim’s family and is ready to assist the surviving victim as needed.

Links to Melbourne’s Criminal Underworld

According to news.com.au, Ghanim is believed to have connections to the late Carl Williams, a notorious underworld figure in Melbourne. Ghanim previously served prison time in 2015 for involvement in a non-fatal shooting in Melbourne.

Police are now exploring possible links between the victims and international crime networks, including theories of revenge or inter-gang conflict.

Badung Police Chief AKBP Arif Batubara told reporters, “We cannot yet determine the motive or who the perpetrator is. Our investigation is ongoing.”

Conclusion

This Australian shooting in Bali has added to a string of violent incidents involving foreigners on the island. Bali police have urged the public and Australian community in Indonesia to support the investigation.

Authorities are now racing to uncover the motive behind this brutal act and identify the gunman who turned a luxurious holiday villa into a crime scene.
