A police re-enactment staged in July suggested he was not suspected of being a trigger man.
This masthead revealed at that time that Jenson claimed to be performing his alleged role as part of a so-called favour to someone else. But when asked on Wednesday if detectives had investigated that person’s identity and involvement, Badung police chief Arif Batubara said the question was “the first we have heard of this”.
He promised to follow up with Jenson’s lawyers.

Radmanovic, or “Stipe”, was gunned down in the early hours of June 14 while his wife, Jazmyn Gourdeas, hid under the bedcovers. The pair had been in Bali for two days as part of a belated honeymoon and to celebrate her 30th birthday, Gourdeas, through her lawyers, said.
Another Melbourne man, Sanar Ghanim, who was once in a relationship with the stepdaughter of dead underworld figure Carl Williams, was beaten and shot in the leg in the attack, but survived.

The motive remains unclear. Gourdeas has allegedly told police she did not know who would want to harm her husband, and that she wanted closure.
Police arrested Jenson in Jakarta days after Radmanovic’s death. Soon after, Tupou was detained in Cambodia and Coskun in Singapore.
Ricky Rajinder Singh, the lawyer for Coskun and Tupou, said on Wednesday his clients had “not told me either way” if they were innocent or guilty. Neither had they asked him about the potential death penalty.
