Bali shooting suspect extradited after gangland killing of two Australians in luxury villa
Bali Police arrest and extradite suspect in villa shooting
A suspect in the shooting of two Australian men in a luxury villa in Bali has been extradited to the island under police escort. The attack occurred just after midnight on Saturday, June 14, in Munggu, located in Bali's Badung Regency. Authorities believe the incident is tied to violent disputes between Middle Eastern organized crime groups in Melbourne.
Victims Zivan 'Stipe' Radmanovic, 35, and Sanar Ghanim, 34, were targeted during the shooting. Radmanovic sustained two gunshot wounds to the chest and one to the foot and was pronounced dead at the scene. Ghanim, the former partner of Danielle Stephens, stepdaughter of deceased Melbourne gangland figure Carl Williams, was hospitalized with gunshot injuries and later discharged on Sunday, June 15, while using a wheelchair.

Wan Hai fire: Cops seek DNA, fingerprint data of missing crew members from firm
KOCHI: Police probing the fire on Wan Hai 503 ship have sought DNA and fingerprint data of the four missing crew members from the shipping company. The Fort Kochi coast police, which is investigating the case, is awaiting information from the shipping firm to complete the identification procedure after the body of a foreign national washed ashore at Arthunkal recently. It was on June 9 that the Singapore-flagged ship on its way to Mumbai port from Colombo caught fire around 44 nautical miles off Kannur coast. As many as 18 crew members were rescued.

Cat fur found in kids' vest sold as '100% sheepskin' in Australia; forensic tests expose mislabeled items; sparks outrage
This is a representative AI image A children's vest sold as "100 per cent Australian sheepskin or wool" has turned out to be actually made from domestic cat and rabbit fur, setting off alarm bells among animal rights groups calling for a statewide ban. The shocking discovery was confirmed through forensic testing by UK-based fibre analysis firm Microtex, which revealed that the vest, sold by fashion brand Suttons UGG at a Melbourne shopping centre—was actually made using the fur of domestic cats and rabbits, as per reports. The investigation, led by advocacy group Collective Fashion Justice in collaboration with the Animal Justice Party, also uncovered two beanies with pom-poms being sold at Queen Victoria Market, which were falsely labelled as 100% acrylic. Testing revealed they contained fox and raccoon dog fur. The findings have prompted animal welfare organisations and the Animal Justice Party to demand a complete prohibition on fur sales across the state. "Every Victorian would be shocked to know that they could go to the store and accidentally buy something made from cat fur, when they may have a cat at home themselves," Collective Fashion Justice founder Emma Hakansson said. In a statement to the ABC, Suttons UGG, which operates retail stores in Sydney and Melbourne, admitted the label on the vest was "wrong." A spokesperson said the manufacturer had described the material as a "kind of special fur," but the company could not "100 per cent confirm" whether it included cat fur. Earlier this year, the Australian Fashion Council implemented restrictions, prohibiting fur, wild-animal skins, and wild feathers from fashion shows. In 2004, the Australian government enacted legislation prohibiting cat and dog fur imports and exports. A Consumer Affairs Victoria study in 2020 examining fur product labelling revealed inaccuracies in all independently tested items. Following these findings, warnings were issued to fur retailers. According to Sky News, Georgie Purcell, the Animal Justice Party MP representing Northern Victoria, has requested authorities to implement a complete ban on fur sales saying, "Consumers could be out there buying this, and then going out and wearing domestic cats."
