Three men have been sentenced to 158 years and nine months each for killing two Australian brothers and their American friend during a 2024 surf trip to Baja California.
Three men in Mexico have been sentenced to 158 years and nine months in prison each for the killings of Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad during a 2024 surf trip to Baja California. The three were found guilty a week ago of homicide, aggravated robbery, robbery with violence and vehicle theft with violence.
According to the Daily Mail, the men were camping in a remote beachside area when they were attacked in April 2024. Their bodies were found dumped in a clifftop shaft several days after they went missing, with gunshot wounds to their heads. The Daily Mail identifies the defendants' ages as Jake Robinson 30, Callum Robinson 33, and Carter Rhoad 30.
Jesus Gerardo, known as 'El Kekas', was identified as the ringleader. His full surname has not been disclosed for legal reasons. His co-defendants, Irineo Francisco and Angel Jesus, were also found guilty and sentenced to the same term. The Robinson parents travelled from Australia to the trial, which began in September, and their mother asked the court for maximum prison sentences.
