The three men were killed during a camping and surfing trip along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Mexican authorities have confirmed the deaths of an American and two Australians who went missing in northern Mexico last week after the tourists’ parents identified their bodies.
The bodies of Australian brothers Callum and Jake Robinson as well as their friend, United States citizen Carter Rhoad, were found at the bottom of a well in the state of Baja California after a days-long search.
All three were in their early 30s and had been shot in the head.
“The victims’ relatives were able to identify them without the need for genetic tests,” a statement from the state prosecutor’s office said.
The three men went missing while on a surfing holiday near the popular tourist town of Ensenada, about 90 minutes south of the US-Mexico border on the Pacific coast.
