Why it matters
The case has drawn international attention to safety concerns for tourists in Mexico and the judicial process for violent crimes.
The father of the Perth brothers murdered while on a Mexican surf trip in 2024 has delivered a heart-wrenching hour-long testimony on the second day of the trial of three men accused of killing his sons. Martin and Debra Robinson flew from Perth to be in the small Ensenada courtroom for the trial of Jesus Gerardo, also known as El Kekas, Irineo Francisco and Angel Jesus, who face charges of aggravated homicide, aggravated robbery, violent robbery and grand theft auto. Mrs Robinson was initially due to take the stand on day one, but after waiting all day was ultimately told her testimony was not relevant at that stage and returned to her seat.
