Mexican prosecutors announced this Sunday, May 5, that the bodies of missing foreign surfers were found with a bullet in the head. Their families are on site to identify the remains.
The presumed bodies of two Australian surfers and an American, missing in Mexico, were found with a bullet in the head, Mexican prosecutors announced on Sunday, while their families were on hand to identify them.
“They all have a hole in their head produced by a gun projectile,” said prosecutor Maria Elena Andrade.
One of the favorite leads followed by investigators is that of an attempted theft of the tourists’ pick-up which apparently went wrong.
Burnt vehicle
The vehicle was found burned not far from the bodies of the two Australian brothers, Jake and Callum Robinson, and the American Jack Carter, surfing enthusiasts, who had last been seen on April 27.
The US Federal Police office in San Diego, southwest California, announced earlier that “three deceased individuals” had “been found in Santo Tomas, Baja California”, without revealing the identities of the victims. Santo Tomas is located about 45 kilometers southeast of Ensenada, in a region of Mexico marked by drug cartel violence.
On Thursday, authorities in Baja California indicated that three Mexicans had been arrested and were being questioned in connection with these disappearances.
