Bali 3: Paea-I-Middlemore Tupou, Mevlut Coskun and Darcy Jenson jailed over murder of Zivan Radmanovic

Two Australian men have been convicted of murder in Bali and sentenced to 16 years in prison each.

27-year-old Melbourne man, Paea-I-Middlemore Tupou, and 22-year-old Sydney man Mevlut Coskun learned their sentences on Monday afternoon in Denpasar District Court.

The family of their shooting victim, Melbourne father Zivan Radmanovic, were in court.

They said they were shocked judges gave a sentence below the 18 years requested by prosecutors.

Pre-meditated murder in Indonesia carries a maximum penalty of death by firing squad.

A third co-accused, 27-year-old Sydney man Darcy Jenson, was tried separately and was later sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Prosecutors said Jenson’s role in the Bali villa killing was limited to planning and logistics, not carrying out the shooting.

The trio, dubbed the “Bali 3,” were originally charged over the brutal murder of Radmanovic during an alleged shooting at Villa Casa Santisya in Bali in June 2025.

The attack reportedly involved a premeditated shooting ambush, in which Radmanovic was shot dead in front of his wife, Jazmyn Gourdeas, who survived the attack.

At the time of the shooting, Gourdeas was in Bali celebrating a birthday with Radmanovic, her sister Daniella and Daniella’s partner, Sanar Ghanim.

Ghanim, a Melbourne underworld figure, was also shot and injured but survived.

The trio were arrested after an international manhunt.

The three Australians appeared under heavy security at the same courthouse where Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine learned their fate.

In earlier hearings, Jenson delivered an emotional apology directly to Gourdeas, saying he was sorry for his actions that led to her husband’s death.
