Overview

  • On July 30, three Australian nationals formally charged with premeditated murder and vehicle theft reenacted the mid-June attack at Villa Casa Santisya under police and prosecutor supervision.
  • The suspects wore the disguises, balaclavas and leg shackles they are accused of using as they guided investigators through the alleged break-in and shooting sequence.
  • Mevlut Coskun publicly denied involvement during the reconstruction and Darcy Jenson’s lawyer said he was only assisting a friend.
  • Authorities have recovered two firearms and a hammer believed to have been used to force entry and carry out the execution-style killing.
  • The motive for the mid-June ambush remains under investigation and is expected to be revealed during the upcoming trial.
