A Mexican murder mystery
Two men and a woman have been charged after the suspected murders of 2 Aussie brothers and an American. Authorities say there’s a “high degree of probability” that 3 bodies found in a well in Baja California – one of Mexico’s most dangerous states – are those of 33yo Callum Robinson, 30yo Jake Robinson and their friend, 30yo Carter Rhoad. A fourth body was also found, but police say it’s unrelated. The trio were holidaying near the tourist town of Ensenada, 90 minutes south of the US-Mexico border, when they were reported missing on 27 April. Investigators believe the suspects shot the surfers after they resisted an attempted carjacking, and what’s thought to be the trio’s burnt-out ute has also been found. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade says it’s “working closely” with Mexican authorities and supporting the brothers’ family as forensic testing on the bodies continues.
