Three Australians sentenced in Bali last month over the shooting murder of a Melbourne father have had their prison terms extended by an appeal judge.

The Indonesian High Court handed an extra five years to Sydney man Darcy Francesco Jenson for his role in planning the murder, taking his sentence from 12 years to 17.

While the two Australian gunmen, Paea-I-Middlemore Tupou and Mevlut Coskun, were each handed an extra two years behind bars, taking their sentences from 16-years to 18.

 

Last month the family of victim Zivan Radmanovic slammed the initial sentences as inadequate, labelling them a “joke”.

Through a lawyer on Thursday, Radmanovic’s wife Jazmyn Gourdeas thanked the appeal judge but maintained the upgraded sentences still do not adequately reflect the “brutality” of the crime or the “ profound suffering” of the victims.

“They’re hoping that the two shooters would receive, if not the maximum sentence, it would be life in prison,” lawyer Sary Latief said.

Latief said her client had faced threats since pushing for the initial sentence to be appealed and was now too afraid to speak publicly herself.

Radmanovic died in the late-night ambush shooting carried out in a villa near Canggu in June 2025 in front of his wife.

The gunmen, who fled but were caught several days later, admitted at trial they got the wrong person and the real target had been the victim’s friend Sanar Ghanim.

Instructions and promise of payment had come from an unnamed man in Australia to threaten Ghanim over an alleged debt.

Ghanim, who has previously been linked to Melbourne’s underworld, was shot and bashed in the villa ambush but survived.
