Mexican authorities have found three bodies in an area of Baja California where two Australian brothers and an American went missing.

The FBI said the bodies were found in the town of Santo Tomas and have not yet been identified, the BBC’s US partner CBS News reported.

Jake, 30, and Callum Robinson, 33, from Perth, and American Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, were on a surfing holiday near the popular tourist town of Ensenada. They disappeared on 27 April.

On Thursday Mexican police questioned a woman and two men in connection with their disappearance.

Forensic tests will be conducted by a state laboratory to identify the bodies, the state of Baja California prosecutor’s office said.

  4. For all of those people that are saying not to come to Mexico let me share with you some context. I am from Ensenada, the place where all of this happened. People here too feel devastated by the news, this isn't "normal" for us. The exact location where (unfortunatelly) they decided to go surfing is quite far from the city, not a common tourist place and very isolated. Much so that that coastline is mostly populated by americans who retired and currently live there. Here, as in any other country one must be cautious and be properly informed before traveling; I wouldn't go camping there for example. My husband and I travel all around our country every holiday, we've visited most states and nothing has ever happened to us. Mexico is full of beautiful places and kind people everywhere. It's so sad that it gets misjudged by events as unfortunate as these. I'm not denying that there are dangers, of course there are, but again, one can be careful and chose not to take certain risks.

  7. Ya busqué tus videos para actualizarlos! Nuestro gobierno no tiene idea de cómo la gente está sufriendo económicamente estos días en el mundo. Gracias Sra. Melanie Rose Caparro, imagínese invertir $6,000 y recibir $14,000 cada 8 días. Es importante que todos prioricen la inversión

  13. Why would one grin and laugh over mispronouncing the name of the site whilst reporting upon a subject such as the location that dead bodies have been found?
    Total disconnect from the material.

  21. 2 beautiful souls who would have helped anyone in need the type of people you could leave your kids with good people, killed by animals the lowest form of humanity.

  36. This is awful. Random deaths in Mexico have been a horror for decades. Now, we have the random deaths of Mothers in Gaza to be horrified by. The UN reports that on average 37 mothers are murdered each day by forces of the fascist and apartheid state of Israel.

  42. THEY ARE NOT MEXICAN TOURISTS!
    THEY ARE AN AMERICAN AND 2 AUSTRALIAN TOURISTS WHO WENT MISSING IN MEXICO.
    YOU TAKE MY LICENCE FEE AND YOU GIVE ME ITV LEVEL GRAMMAR. 😂
    Know nothing Gen-Z, by any chance?
    COME ON BBC – DO BETTER…!

  43. Mexico should do what the president of El Salvador has done and let the Army loose on the criminal gangs. In El Salvador it has achieved miraculous results in only a few years. Whereas formerly the country was one of the most lawless and dangerous places on earth, it is now one of the safest, and the tourists Mexico is now losing may well be going to El Salvador. But if you want somewhere really safe where there is virtually no crime, I recommend Singapore, but dont try to smuggle drugs there unless you are tired of life.

  44. This mexican will never go to Baja California… Or most mexican north, anyway risk tourism is a trend isn't it? So please don't ont blame an entire country next time some firstworlder suffer the dangers of risk tourism. 🎉

  45. Condolences to their loved ones and friends.
    Personally, I will never go to Mexico again. Less than 12 hours into my first and last holiday there some local guy was shot dead just 150 metres away from me on a tourist beach. Another took bullets in the back, but survived. And all this in a supposedly crime free resort.
