Trial begins in Mexico over killings of Australian surfers and American friend

Three men are on trial in Mexico for the 2024 murders of two Australian brothers and their American friend. Court officials say the men face charges of murder and aggravated robbery. The victims went missing while camping and surfing at a remote beach in Baja California. Their bodies were found days later with gunshot wounds. Prosecutors say the men were killed during an attempt to steal their pickup truck, which was later found burned. The trial began Monday in Ensenada and is set to continue Tuesday. The father of the Australian brothers attended the hearing with his wife.
