Bali police have arrested two people over a shooting which killed one Australian and seriously injured another.

Zivan Radmanovic, 32, was shot dead just after midnight on Saturday after two men broke into his villa in Munggu, in the south of the Indonesian tourist island.

One of the suspects was arrested in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, while the other was caught abroad, police said without giving more details.

Mr Radmanovic’s wife earlier told police she was awakened by her husband’s screams before finding his body in the bathroom, Australian media reported.

Sanar Ghanim, who was also shot, is getting treatment for his injuries in hospital. Local police say the 34-year-old was also beaten.

Mr Ghanim’s wife testified to seeing the attackers. Neither women were injured.

Police say they are still investigating the shooters’ motive, but did not give further details on the arrest on Monday.

They have collected 17 bullet casings, two intact projectiles and 55 bullet fragments from the scene.

Images of the villa published by Australian media show bullet holes in the windows and blood stains on the floor.

Several witnesses told police they heard the shooters speak in English with strong Australian accents.

One wore an orange jacket with a dark helmet, while the other wore a dark green jacket, a black mask, and a dark helmet, according to witnesses.

“I can’t start my bike,” one of them reportedly said, before eventually managing to take off on a scooter, the witnesses added.

The incident took place in Bali’s tourist district of Badung, where many well-known beaches such as Kuta and Canggu are located.

Violent crime is relatively uncommon in Bali, which attracts millions of international visitors a year.
