The parents of two Australian brothers killed in Mexico have spoken publicly for the first time, paying an emotional tribute to their children. Jake and Callum Robinson disappeared while on a surfing trip, with their bodies finally identified after being found in a well.
"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Callum Jake have been murdered. Our hearts are broken; and the world has become a darker place for us."
33-year-old Callum and 30-year-old Jake were allegedly killed near the port city of Ensenada on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, late in April. "We also mourn the loss of Carter Rhoad, a close friend. They were young men enjoying their passion of surfing together.""Callum was a lovable, larger than life character, and considered the United States his second home. Known as the Big Koala, he played professional lacrosse in the PLL , and represented Australia in the World Championships, and always found time to coach junior teams.
