Tragic new details emerge over Aussie brothers missing in Mexico
Authorities have recovered three bodies in the Baja California region of Mexico, believed to be those of brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend who went missing while on a surfing trip.
The Perth siblings and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad went missing last week after they failed to show up at their planned accommodations.
Mexican Authorities believe that the brothers were attacked in a robbery gone wrong, and fought back, prompting gunfire from the alleged thieves.
The three bodies had gunshots to the head, execution-style, and were found 10 metres down a well outside Santo Tomás about 2km away from what is believed to be the men's campsite.
While officials are waiting for DNA results, they believe that there is a "very high probability that it is them".
"They were in a state of decomposition. That is why we have to run the genetic tests," Baja California Attorney General Maria Elena Andrade Ramírez told 9News.
Police have also said that shell casings were found at the scene.
Two men and one woman have been arrested in connection with the attempted robbery, after they were found in possession of methamphetamines and one of the missing men's phones.
Ramírez also said evidence found along with the abandoned tents was linked to the three people being questioned about the missing foreigners.
Local TV network Milenio reported that the suspects appeared to have stolen the surfers’ truck and some of its parts were found in another truck belonging to one of the suspects.
"A working team (of investigators) is at the site where they were last seen, where tents and other evidence was found that could be linked to these three people we have under investigation," Ramírez said on Thursday.
"There is a lot of important information that we can't make public."
A fourth body was also found deeper down the well, but Ramirez confirmed that it had no connection to the investigation.
