Story summary
A Mexican judge has convicted three men – Jesús Gerardo (also known as "El Kekas"), Irineo Francisco, and Ángel Jesús – of murdering two Australian brothers, Jake and Callum Robinson, aged 30 and 33 respectively, and their American friend Carter Rhoad, all killed in an alleged robbery during a surfing trip to Mexico's Pacific coast in April 2024. The trial, which lasted five weeks and concluded on Friday local time, saw the parents of the victims – Martin and Debra Robinson from Perth, Western Australia – attend every day and deliver emotional testimony. They called for the killers to receive maximum sentences, highlighting the tragic impact on their lives. The verdict came after six hours of closing arguments in Ensenada, a coastal town in Baja California state, where the accused were found guilty of aggravated homicide, robbery, and violent vehicle theft.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
