Three men have each received a prison term of 158 years and nine months from a Mexican judge over the deaths of two Australians and an American on a surf trip to Baja California.
Brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their friend Carter Rhoad were attacked while camping near Ensenada on 27 April 2024. They were shot dead in a suspected robbery, and their bodies were discovered days later in a clifftop well.
A week before sentencing, the defendants were found guilty of homicide and offences involving aggravated robbery, violent robbery and violent vehicle theft. The victims’ families followed the sentencing hearing by video link.
The judge rejected prosecutors’ request for more than $100,000 in damages, ruling that any compensation must be sought through civil proceedings.
