MEXICO CITY: A Mexican judge on Friday found three men guilty of the 2024 murders of two Australian brothers and their American friend during a surf trip to the state of Baja California, a court source told Reuters.
Jesus Gerardo Garcia, known as "El Kekas", and the co-defendants identified simply as Irineo Francisco "N" and Angel Jesus "N", were found guilty of aggravated homicide, violent robbery and vehicle theft by a Baja California court.
The prosecution had sought sentences of up to 150 years for the suspects. According to the same source at the state court, the sentence will be announced on Oct 16.
Brothers Callum, 33, and Jake Robinson, 30, and American Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, were camping and surfing near Punta San Jose, about 80km south of Ensenada, when they were reported missing in late April 2024.
