Ari Gisell, 23, pleaded guilty to instigating the violent assault on Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend Carter Rhoad, who were on a surfing trip in the northern Mexican state of Baja California in April 2024 when they disappeared.

Their bodies were later found with gunshot wounds to the head at the bottom of a deep well.

Ari Gisell had expressed interest in the tyres on the surfers' car and told her then-boyfriend Jesús Gerardo to "bring me a good phone and good tyres for my pickup truck", the court heard.

Only the first and middle names of the defendants were revealed. Surnames were not, in line with Mexican court reporting rules.
