While the other, also riding a motorbike, was wearing a green jacket, dark helmet and dark mask.
The Bali Tribune reported the Mr Radmanovic’s wife, 30-year-old Gourdeas Jazmyn, was sleeping when she heard her husband screaming at about 12.15am.
Peeking out from behind a blanket, she saw the man with the orange jacket and the other man allegedly shooting at her husband while he was in the bathroom.
A few moments later, she heard the sound of gunfire and Mr Ghanim screaming from his room.
An investigation has been launched and police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to come forward.

Local police were at the villa on Saturday examining the scene for evidence.
