One of the men, wearing a face mask to possibly shield his identity, was heard to speak with an Australian accent.

The woman told police how she saw a man wearing an orange jacket and a black helmet approach her husband and fatally shoot him in the bathroom. At the same time, Jazmyn heard more shots and the breaking of glass in the adjacent room occupied by Sanar Ghanim.

Police say the fatally wounded Australian, Radmanovic, suffered bullet wounds to his right foot, and two shots to his left thorax, left shoulder, forehead, and nose.
Meanwhile, Daniela, the wife of Sanar Ghanim, was awakened by the sound of gunfire to see a man wearing a green jacket, a dark helmet, and a face mask enter her room. She immediately fled the villa, screaming for help.
