  "account": "Three men have been convicted of murdering two Australian surfers and their American friend in Baja California, Mexico, in April 2024. Judge Raúl Hernández found Jesús Gerardo García, alias El Kekas, Irineo Francisco N, and Ángel Jesús N guilty of the triple homicide and also charged them with armed robbery and carjacking. The defendants, who had been in custody for over two years, were found responsible for the murders of Australians Callum and Jake Robinson and American Carter Redd Rhoad. Their bodies were discovered in a well on May 3, 2024, after they were reported missing in Punta San Jose, a town about 50 miles from Ensenada. García was arrested in May 2024 and his ex-partner Ary Gisell Silva Raya testified that he confessed to her of arriving at their tent armed with a 9 mm pistol. Silva Raya was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aggravated robbery and vehicle theft, but García and his accomplices chose to go to trial. The final sentence will be announced on October 16, 2025, with prosecutors seeking an exemplary sentence of 210 years in prison for each defendant.",
