  • Victoria Police are treating the blaze as a targeted warning linked to the June 14 ambush in Bali that killed Melbourne man Zivan Radmanovic.
  • Indonesian prosecutors have charged three Australian men with premeditated murder over Radmanovic’s death and are pursuing capital punishment.
  • Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular support to the accused as the case moves forward in Bali.
  • The incident underscores how Melbourne underworld feuds have spilled across borders and prompted complex legal and security challenges.
