Jake and Callum Robinson sentence: Killers given whopping sentences for murdering surfers in Mexico
Three men have been sentenced after being found guilty of murdering Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, and their American friend Carter Rhoad.
Jake, 31, Callum, 32, and Carter disappeared in late April 2024 while camping at a remote surfing location in Baja California, a peninsula in the northwest of Mexico.
Their bodies were discovered days later at the bottom of a well with gunshot wounds, alongside the body of a local farmer who had also been shot.
Three men, Jesus Gerardo, known as El Kekas, Irineo Francisco and Angel Jesus were convicted of aggravated homicide, aggravated robbery, violent robbery and violent vehicle theft more than two years later following a weeks-long trial.
On Friday, local time, the trio each received sentences of 135 years for aggravated homicide, 13 years for vehicle robbery with violence and 10 years and nine months for aggravated robbery.
