Singapore/Bali: For a supposed “free holiday” in Bali, Sydney plumber Darcy Jenson faces the prospect of meeting an Indonesia firing squad.
The 27-year-old is one of three Australians accused of the execution-style killing of Melbourne father-of-six Zivan Radmanovic inside a Bali villa located just north of Canggu in June.

On Wednesday, the trio of Mevlut Coskun, Paea I Middlemore Tupou and Jenson were formally handed over to Bali prosecutors following the conclusion of the initial police investigation.
Each man could face the death penalty if found guilty in Bali’s conviction-happy courts.
Speaking to this masthead outside the Badung regency prosecutor’s office, Jenson’s lawyer Katharina Nutz said her client had admitted to transporting his co-accused, buying the hammer that broke through the villa window and organising certain logistics.

It was a favour to a mystery “friend”, she said. In exchange, the friend “paid for the plane tickets, villa, and everything else.”
“For the rest of [Jenson’s] role, you have to wait for the trial,” she said.
Nutz has previously claimed her client knew “nothing”, and had “no idea” what was in the backpack that he allegedly handed to his co-accused in the getaway car before it was tossed. Bali police say the backpack had guns.
