hree Australians accused of fatally shooting a fellow countryman in Badung regency, Bali, earlier this year, have been charged with premeditated murder. A crime that carries the maximum penalty of death under Indonesian law.
Badung Police Chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Arif Batubara said that the trial of the suspects, Darcy Francesco Jenson, 27, Mevlut Coskun, 22, and Tupou Pasa I Midolmore, 26, can proceed as police have completed the investigation and handed over the case file to the Badung Prosecutor’s Office.
“We have officially handed over the suspects and evidence to prosecutors today,” Arif said on Wednesday, adding that the investigation faced no major obstacles.
Head of the Badung Prosecutor’s Office, Sutrisno Margi Utama, said the three Australians will be charged under Article 340 of the Criminal Code for premeditated murder and Article 1 of the 1951 Emergency Law for the illegal possession of firearms.
“The suspects will remain in detention at Kerobokan Prison while awaiting trial,” he added.
