They were two brothers from Perth on a trip of a lifetime in Mexico.

Callum Robinson, who was playing college lacrosse in the U.S and his brother Jake, a young doctor at the start of his career in Australia, were avid surfers chasing waves on a trip in the north-west coast of Mexico.

Last week they went missing, before Mexican police found four bodies down a well on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Authorities have now confirmed that two of those bodies are those of Jake and Callum.

How did this happen in a popular Mexican holiday destination?

Today, Channel Nine’s U.S correspondent Alison Piotrowski speaks to us from Baja California about what it’s like on the ground, and the possible motive behind the suspected murders.
