Alleged killers of Australian, US surfers go on trial in Mexico

Authorities say brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their friend Jack Carter Rhoad were shot dead in 2024 during a suspected robbery

The suspected murderers of two Australian surfers and an American at a Mexican surfing hotspot went on trial on Monday, two years after their killings in a suspected robbery.

They had been 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. They bore gunshot wounds to their heads.

Three men are on trial over their killings.

The Robinsons’ parents travelled to the port city of Ensenada for the start of the proceedings.
