Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 01:55 · Archive
A Mexican court is expected to deliver a verdict in the murder trial of three men accused of killing Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson. Jesus Gerardo (also known as El Kekas), Irineo Francisco and Angel Jesus face charges of aggravated homicide, aggravated robbery, violent robbery and grand theft auto in connection with the deaths.
Jake and Callum Robinson, aged 30 and 33, were shot dead in Baja California during a surfing trip in 2024, allegedly during a robbery. Their friend Carter Rhoad, 30, was also killed in the incident.
The month-long trial heard testimony from dozens of witnesses. Martin and Debra Robinson, the brothers' parents, travelled from Perth to attend proceedings in Ensenada. Martin Robinson told the court of the 'hell' he and his wife had endured since losing 'two sons in horrific circumstances'. The prosecution is seeking 150 years in prison for each defendant. Closing arguments were expected on Thursday afternoon, after which the judge is expected to announce his verdict and, if the men are convicted, impose sentences.
