Fourth person arrested over alleged murders of Perth brothers

A fourth person has been arrested over the alleged murders of Perth brothers Jake and Callum Robinson, who went missing in Mexico earlier this year. 

The brothers were on a surf trip and were camping in the Baja California region of Mexico, near Ensenada, along with their American friend Jack Rhoad, when they disappeared on April 27. 

They were found weeks later near their remote campsite and three people were arrested soon after, with one of the suspects carrying a mobile phone belonging to one of the victims.  

It is believed that the brothers were  shot dead in a "robbery gone wrong".

Now, another man has been arrested in connection to their alleged murders, just one month after the brothers' bodies were found 10 metres down a well. 

According to 9News, authorities have not yet provided any further details or the identity of the man. 

The Robinson brothers were laid to rest earlier this month, with hundreds grieving friends and family watching the memorial service at Perth's Sacred Heart College, where the brothers attended high school. 

Debra Robinson paid tribute to her sons, along with her husband Martin during the service. 

“We loved that Jake was curious, kind and happy and never judgmental,” Mrs Robinson said at the time. 

“Callum always made a conscious decision to wake up and be positive every day. He saw so much fun in life. We miss you beyond description, Callum and Jakey boy, please shine on us.”
