Two people have been arrested, one in Jakarta and one overseas, over the alleged shooting of two Australians by a hit squad at a Bali villa.

Zivan ‘Stipe’ Radmanovic, 35, and Sanar Ghanim, 34, were shot just after midnight on Saturday at a villa in Munggu – in Badung Regency in Bali’s south – in an attack believed to be linked to Melbourne’s feuding Middle Eastern crime syndicates.

Radmanovic died at the scene after he was shot twice in the chest and once in the foot, while Ghanim was rushed to Kuta’s BIMC Hospital with gunshot wounds and cuts.

Indonesian Police Chief Listyo Budi Prabowo told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday that two people were in custody over the shooting.

‘One of them is already in Jakarta, while the other is currently on the way to Jakarta from overseas,’ Mr Budi said.

‘A more detailed statement will later be officially issued by the Bali Regional Police. 

‘This effort is a joint operation involving the Criminal Investigation unit of the Indonesian National Police, Immigration, and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).’

The surviving victim, Ghanim, is the former partner of slain Melbourne gangland boss Carl Williams’s stepdaughter Danielle Stephens.

After he was discharged from hospital on Sunday, using a wheelchair and nursing a bandaged leg, he refused to speak with police. 

Both Ghanim and Radmonovic’s family are currently being kept on the island ‘under close police watch’, authorities said previously on Tuesday.

‘Naturally we are interested in obtaining information from this person as a witness,’ said Bali Police spokesman Senior Commissioner Ariasandy.

‘As long as we still require their statement, both the survivor and other witnesses remain under the investigators’ supervision. They are still here and questioning is ongoing.

‘They continue to be under our monitoring and our protection. Their cooperation remains important in this investigation. They are under close watch.’ 

Daily Mail Australia understands the Radmanovic family has now signed the paperwork for an autopsy to be carried out, after earlier delaying the process.

Local police are seeking CCTV footage of the attack and have so far managed to take statements from seven people over the shooting. 

An examination of Radmanovic by a forensic doctor, while his team waited for the Radmonovic family’s permission to perform a full autopsy, indicated he had been shot several times and also beaten.

Ghanim and his partner were living in Bali for some time. 

Radmanovic and his wife, mum of six Jazmyn Gourdeas, are understood to have arrived with her family on Thursday to celebrate her 30th birthday.

Police found 17 bullet casings and 55 bullet fragments at the scene.
