MURDER IN MEXICO 'OUR HEARTS ARE SHATTERED

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME TURNED DEADLY FOR THREE YOUNG MEN

The parents of two Australian brothers murdered while holidaying in Mexico have paid a heartbreaking tribute to their sons. Callum Robinson, 33, had been enjoying a surfing holiday with his younger brother Jake, 30, and their American mate, Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, before their great adventure ended abruptly in violence.

Martin and Debra Robinson made the harrowing trip to Mexico from Perth to formally identify their sons and make preparations to bring their bodies home.

"Our hearts are broken and the world has become a darker place for us. We also mourn the loss of Carter Rhoad, a close friend," Debra said. "They were young men enjoying their passion of surfing together. Now it's time to bring... them home to family and friends and the ocean waves in Australia."
