New blow for Aussie hit squad who murdered Melbourne dad in Bali
Share this @internewscast.com

Three Australian men, responsible for the gangland-style murder of a Melbourne father-of-six in Bali, will face extended prison sentences.

Last month, Darcy Francesco Jenson, aged 27, Mevlut Coskun, 22, and Paea I Middlemore Tupou, 27, were convicted for the killing of 32-year-old Zivan Radmanovic. The incident occurred at a luxury villa in Munggu on the popular holiday island in June of the previous year.

After a six-month trial held at the Denpasar District Court, Jenson received an initial sentence of 12 years for his role in the crime.

His co-defendants, who executed the shooting, were each given 16-year sentences, narrowly escaping the death penalty.

The verdicts stirred outrage among Radmanovic’s grieving relatives, leading prosecutors to file an appeal against the sentences.

On Wednesday, the Bali High Court responded by imposing longer sentences on the trio.

‘Darcy Francesco Jenson, has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of committing the criminal offences of aiding and abetting premeditated murder and aiding and abetting attempted premeditated murder, as charged in the indictments of the public prosecutor. Imposing upon the defendant, therefore, a sentence of 17 years imprisonment,’ a statement from the panel of judges read.

Jenson’s sentence was increased by five years.

Coskun and Tupou had their sentences extended by two years.

‘Imposing upon the defendants, therefore, a sentence of imprisonment of 18 years each,’ the panel of judges said.

‘Period of arrest and detention already served by defendants shall be fully deducted from the sentence imposed.’

Jenson, Coskun and Tupou remain in Indonesia’s notorious Kerobokan prison, where Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby and members of the Bali Nine also served time.

It’s not yet known whether their defence teams will launch an appeal in the Indonesian Supreme Court over the latest ruling.

Jenson organised the logistics of the trip for the group in the months before the attack – in which another man was also injured – including accommodation, car hires and scooter rentals.

The trio testified in court that they were hired to collect a debt from another man staying in the villa, Sanar Ghanim, but mistakenly shot dead Radmanovic in their confusion after they broke in on June 14, 2025. 

They refused to name the Australian man who hired them.

Ghanim was shot six times while Radmanovic was beaten with a sledgehammer before being fatally shot. Both men had links to Melbourne’s underworld. 

The two men had been holidaying in Bali with their partners to celebrate the 30th birthday of Radmanovic’s wife, Jazmyn Gourdeas. 

She hid under a blanket during the horrific ordeal.

Ms Gourdeas and her family travelled to Bali last month for the initial sentencing, which had been pushed back a week after an unexpected delay. 

Emotions boiled over in the courtroom as Radmanovic’s loved ones confronted his killers following the sentencing.

‘You happy with that, you dog … you f***in’ dog,’ a male relative shouted at Jenson as he was escorted away in handcuffs.

Outside court, Ms Gourdeas’ mother Renata Deegan slammed the sentences as a ‘f***ing joke’.

‘I have lost a son-in-law and they get 16 years or whatever the hell it was,’ she said.

‘How can that not be life? It’s unfair!’

‘This place is a f***ing joke. You come here and kill someone, and you walk away.’
