Family of surfers allegedly murdered in Mexico to attend trial

The parents of Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, who were killed in Mexico in 2024, will travel to Ensenada to attend the trial of the men accused of their murder. In a post on social media, Debra and Martin Robinson stated that attending the trial was important but overwhelmingly difficult, as they sought to hear the truth and understand what happened.

The three men — Jesús Gerardo, Irineo Francisco, and Ángel Jesús — have been charged with aggravated homicide, and their trial is set to begin. The parents emphasized that this is not about revenge, but about truth, justice, and love, as they aim to be their sons' voices in the courtroom. Western Australian government minister Reece Whitby expressed his admiration for their bravery and offered his support to the family during what he described as a harrowing experience.
