The Australian man who has died in Bali after a shooting at a villa has been identified as 32-year-old Melbourne man Zivan Radmanovic.

The other victim, identified as Melbourne man Sanar Ghanim, sustained non-life-threatening injuries, reportedly from being beaten rather than shot.

He has been taken to Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar for treatment.

Local police said they had not yet determined a motive for the shooting of the men

“We cannot yet determine the motive for this shooting and also who the perpetrator is until our investigation is complete,” Batubara said.

It is understood that masked men broke into the villa, before fleeing on scooters.

Local media reported that Radmanovic’s wife witnessed his fatal shooting.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) confirmed the Australian man’s death and said they were providing consular assistance to his family.
