Triple murder suspect in Mexico surfer deaths allegedly confessed to girlfriend that he killed ‘3 gringos’: report

One of the suspects believed to be linked to the murders of two Australian brothers and an American, who were on a surfing trip in Mexico, allegedly admitted to his girlfriend that he killed all three, according to her.

During a court hearing on Wednesday, the BBC reported that Ari Gisel, the girlfriend of alleged murderer Jesús Gerardo García Cota, allegedly showed up at his house on April 28 and told him she had done something to “three gringos.” Gringo is a slang term used to describe English-speaking foreigners.

When asked what he meant, Gisel stated that García Cota said: “I killed them.”

In accordance with Mexican law, prosecutors identified him by his given name, Jesús Gerardo, alias “el Kekas,” a slang word meaning “quesadillas” or cheese tortillas.

After admitting to the crime, García Cota allegedly took Gisel outside to show her his vehicle, which allegedly had the tires that were allegedly stolen from the victims’ truck, Gisel explained in court.

Mexican authorities believe that all the surfers were killed because the thieves wanted the tires from their truck.

The three men, brothers Jake and Callum Robinson from Australia and American Jack Carter Rhoad, were on a camping and surfing trip along a stretch of coast south of the city of Ensenada when they disappeared last weekend. .

The state attorney general, María Elena Andrade Ramírez, theorized that the murderers passed by and saw the foreigners’ truck and tents and wanted to steal their tires. But “when (the foreigners) came and grabbed them, they surely resisted.”

The robbers then allegedly went to what she called “a place that is extremely difficult to get to” and allegedly dumped the bodies in a family well. A fourth body was also found inside the well.

Ramirez said investigators were not ruling out the possibility that the same suspects also dumped the earlier first body into the well as part of previous crimes.

All three bodies had a gunshot wound to the head, Reuters reported, citing a source from the attorney general’s office.

The mother of the Robinson brothers paid a touching tribute to her children Tuesday on a San Diego beach.

“Our hearts are broken and the world has become a darker place for us,” Debra Robinson said, fighting back tears. “They were young people who enjoyed their passion for surfing together.”

During his speech, Robinson noted that his son Jake loved surfing so much that, as a doctor, he liked working in hospitals near the beach.

“Jake’s passion was surfing and it was no coincidence that many of the hospitals he worked at were near surfing beaches,” he said. “Live bigger, shine brighter and love brighter in his memory,” he said.

García Cota will be prosecuted for the crime of “disappearance committed by private individuals” and homicide charges are expected to be filed later, the BBC reported.
