She created three surfers who went to Mexico to be robbed. All were found dead in a well.
A Mexican woman has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in killing two Australian brothers and an American friend during a surfing trip in Baja California last year.
The woman, 23-year-old Ari Gisele Silva Raya, pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and vehicle theft, the Baja California State Attorney’s Office said in a written statement.
Raya admitted in court that she asked her friend and two other suspects to rob the three men, prosecutors said. The victims were found dead in a well after an extensive search.
A Mexican court sentenced the woman to prison on Wednesday after she waived her right to a trial. She was also ordered to pay $54,000 in restitution, an amount equal to approximately $3,000. Prosecutors said the court warned that the sentence was related to the robbery that led to the murders and that he could face additional fines in the case.
Australian brothers Callum Robinson, 33, and Jack, 30, along with their American friend Jack Rudd, 30, were killed in April 2024 during a surfing trip in Baja California.
State prosecutors said the killings took place in a remote area known as Punta San Jose, about 20 kilometers south of Ensenada.
An investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor of the State of Mexico for crimes against life determined that Raya arrived there on the night of April 27 and befriended the men. She also saw their valuables.
A few hours later, between 11:00 am and 2:00 am, three robbers came to the area and robbed the victims before killing them.
The family reported the man missing to local authorities the same day after they determined the man had never checked into their Airbnb in Rosaroto Beach.
Their disappearance prompted an extensive investigation involving authorities, the Mexican Navy and the FBI.
The bodies of these three people were found in a well on May 2. Authorities said each had been shot in the head. Later, authorities arrested Raya and three other suspects in connection with the deadly robberies.
The suspects, under Mexican law, are being identified only by their first names as Jesus “El Cacas” Gerardo, Irino Francisco and Angel Jesus.
Mexican authorities said the three were in custody awaiting trial.
