A local judge has found three Mexicans guilty of murdering two Australian brothers and their American friend in Baja California. The trial concluded Friday with Judge Raúl Hernández ruling that Jesús Gerardo García, Irineo Francisco “N,” and Ángel Jesús “N” were responsible for the April 2024 killings. The victims, Callum and Jake Robinson and Jack Carter Rhoad, were reported missing shortly after arriving to surf. Their bodies were found in a well.

Shark attack survivor Mel Ismail speaks out after losing leg surfing

  • By ROD McGUIRK - Associated Press

Shark attack survivor Mel Ismail has spoken publicly for the first time since his leg was severed while surfing on the Australian west coast in September. The professional firefighter was surfing at Glenfield Beach near Geraldton when he was attacked on Sept. 14. He lost his right leg below the knee. Ismail recalled in an Australian Broadcasting Corp. interview broadcast on Thursday sitting out the back of the surf break and spotting a pod of about 20 dolphins before being hit by something big. Ismail initially thought he'd been hit by a dolphin but soon realized he'd been bitten by a shark.
