Three Mexican men sentenced to over 158 years each for the 2024 murders of two Australian brothers and an American surfer in Baja California.
A judge in Ensenada, Baja California sentenced Jesús Gerardo García, Irineo Francisco 'N,' and Ángel Jesús 'N' to 158 years and nine months each for the murders of Callum and Jake Robinson and Carter Redd Rhoad. The sentencing came one week after the men were found guilty of homicide, robbery with violence, and vehicle theft with violence. The victims were killed in late April 2024 while on a surf trip near Punta San José and their bodies were recovered from a well on May 3, 2024.
