One of the ‘Bali 3’, handcuffed and wearing chains on his legs, has spoken out while being walked through the villa where he’s accused of gunning down a Melbourne father.
One of three men arrested over the alleged murder of an Australian father in Bali has told 7NEWS he is innocent.
Mevlut Coskun, 22, and his two co-accused were taken by heavily-armed police on a dramatic re-construction tour of the Munggu villa where Melbourne man Zivan Radmanovic, 32, and his friend Sanar Ghanim, 34, were shot in mid-June.

Speaking to media for the first time since the “Bali 3” were arrested and dragged back to the holiday island, Coskun told 7NEWS he was “not guilty” and said “yes” when asked by 7NEWS if he would fight criminal charges, should they be laid.
He also claimed the conditions he was facing in prison are “terrible”.
