A trial has begun in Bali for three Australian men accused of killing a Melbourne father in an alleged premeditated hit.
Police allege that two men — Mevlut Coskun and Paea I Middlemore Tupou — broke into a Bali villa, north of Canggu, shortly after midnight on June 13 and shot two Australians.
Zivan Radmanovic, 32, was killed in the attack, while 34-year-old Sanar Ghanim survived.
Another man, Darcy Jenson, is alleged to have organised the hit, providing vehicles and a sledgehammer for the alleged shooters.
The three accused were masked and shackled as they arrived at court earlier this morning, not saying anything to assembled media.
Mr Jenson is being represented separately to Mr Coskun and Mr Tupou.
The trial, which is expected to run for up to two months, is being overseen by a panel of three judges in a Bali District Court, who will determine whether or not the men are guilty.
Mr Tupou and Mr Coskun have been indicted on three charges: premeditated murder, attempted premeditated murder and weapons possession.
If found guilty of premeditated murder, they could be sentenced to the death penalty.
The alleged hit shocked Bali at the time, with the death generating significant local interest.
Police said Mr Radmanovic's partner woke to her husband screaming, hiding in bed while she heard multiple gunshots.
Indictment reveals how attack allegedly unfolded
The indictment of Mr Tupou, 27, and Mr Coskun, 22, reveals Mr Radmanovic was shot three times in the overnight attack.
In it, police allege Mr Jenson received orders from an unnamed Australian to rent a car, which was used to pick up Mr Coskun and Mr Tupou in Surabaya, a city on the island of Java, on June 10.
The three men travelled to Bali, where Mr Jenson allegedly gave the two men green GOJEK delivery rider jackets, gloves, glasses and black balaclavas.
It's alleged Mr Coskun and Mr Tupou broke into the villa just after midnight on June 14 using a hammer, entering and firing at Mr Radmanovic and Mr Ghanim with 9mm handguns.
A coroner's examination found Mr Radmanovic had wounds from blunt force trauma, as well as three gunshot entry wounds.
After fleeing on motorcycles, the pair allegedly dumped the handguns in a small river at Tabanan.
Police providing protection to victims' families
Three men were arrested in the days after the shooting.
Mr Jenson was arrested at a Jakarta airport, while the other two were picked up in Cambodia and returned to Indonesia.
In July, all three men were handcuffed and forced to re-enact the alleged shooting as police carried out their investigation.
A specific motive has not been revealed by police for the shooting.
Lawyers for Mr Jenson have previously told reporters that their client had been cooperative with police and that he was helping a friend, without knowing the alleged murder would take place.
"The most important thing is he has been cooperative with the process," they said.
"He feels remorse because somebody ended up dying."
Mr Radmanovic's widow, Jazmyn Gourdeas, was in court with his family.
"Jazmyn has come today to hear the indictment," Ms Gourdeas's lawyer Sari Latief said outside the court.
"It's important because she wants to ensure her husband gets the justice he needs.
"It's almost like, not so much closure, but she needs to face this and support him … and for the children as well.
"She would like to see [the death penalty] applied."
Ms Gourdeas is expected to give evidence during the trial.
Badung Police Adjunct Chief Commissioner Arif Batubara said assistance was being provided to the family.
"They're still experiencing a lot of trauma from what happened," he said.
"Through their lawyers, they've requested security from the outset."
