Mexican court sentences three men over murder of WA brothers

Key points

• A Mexican court has sentenced three men to 158 years and nine months each for the 2024 killings of Perth brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and American Carter Rhoad. The victims were slain during a surfing trip in Baja California.
• Judge Raul Hernandez Arellano said the attack was serious, noting the tourists were unarmed and targeted at a remote spot at night. The men were also ordered to pay substantial compensation.
• The defence has indicated it will appeal, and has ten days to lodge that challenge. The brothers' parents said the sentences offered some comfort.
