About this episode

The episode discusses the appeal of two Australian men convicted of murder in a Bali villa shooting case.

Last year a targeted attack at a luxury villa in Bali left one man dead and another seriously injured. Two Australian men were swiftly convicted of murder, and another for aiding and abetting premediated murder. In this episode Wayne is joined by journalist Paul Shapiro to break down the case, from the chaotic night of the attack, to claims it was a botched job ordered by a mysterious figure known only as “Mr. X.” But the case now heads to appeal, with Indonesian prosecutors demanding a tougher sentence- which could include the death penalty.
