A man accused of killing three men who were on a surfing trip in Mexico allegedly confessed the crime to his girlfriend, according to testimony read in court Wednesday.
### The Victims
The three men, Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad, were found with gunshot wounds to the head at the bottom of a 15-metre well, about six kilometres from their campsite. They had been surfing and camping together on the coast of Baja California when they were last heard from on April 27.
### The Confession
The man accused of their murder, Jesús Gerardo “N,” also known as “El Kekas,” allegedly confessed to his girlfriend that he had killed the three men. He told her that he had “f—ked up three gringos,” and later admitted to killing them. He even gave her a cellphone belonging to one of the victims as proof of his crime.
### The Arrest
El Kekas was arrested on May 3 after investigators found the victims’ burned-down campsite, which showed evidence of a violent struggle. Two others are also in custody, including El Kekas’ girlfriend and his brother. Mexican authorities are investigating if more individuals were involved in the attack.
### The Investigation
Prosecutors believe the three men were victims of a violent carjacking. The Ford Ranger pickup truck allegedly used by the attackers was searched and a gun was found inside, which prosecutors say had been recently fired. The victims’ bodies were found in a boarded-up well in an “extremely” remote area, along with a fourth, older body from a separate case.
### The Aftermath
After the bodies were found, the local surfing community in Ensenada gathered at the beach to pay their respects to the dead surfers. The parents of the Robinson brothers travelled from Perth, Australia to Mexico to identify the remains of their sons. At a memorial ceremony in San Diego, Debra Robinson, Callum and Jake’s mother, expressed their grief and desire to bring their sons home.
### Conclusion
The tragic incident has left the surfing community in shock and mourning the loss of the three young men. The investigation is ongoing, with murder charges expected to be filed soon by prosecutors. The families of the victims are left to grapple with the senseless loss of their loved ones, as they seek justice for the heinous crime committed against them..
