The parents of two Australian brothers shot dead in one of Mexico’s most dangerous states say “the world has become a darker place for us” after identifying their sons’ remains. Callum, 33, and Jake Robinson, 30, were on a surfing trip with American friend Carter Rhoad, 30, in northern Mexico when they failed to check in to pre-arranged accommodation near the city of Ensenada. When police arrived at their last known whereabouts, they discovered a campsite covered in blood.

The alleged murderers attempted to destroy the evidence, burning the tent and driving the coveted pick-up away before setting it alight as well. The bodies were dumped in a 4m-deep well about 6km away, on top of a fourth body prosecutors say had been there much longer. Three suspects are being held in connection with the case - two of them because they were caught with methamphetamine but continue to be suspects in the killings.
