The court heard she told investigators her former romantic partner had arrived at her house on Sunday and told her "I f****ed up three gringos".

The court heard she said, "what do you mean?" to which he replied, "I killed them".

Prosecutors alleged he then gave her a mobile phone and said "look what I got you", before taking her outside to show her the new tyres on her car that had been allegedly stolen from the trio's vehicle.

Charges against Jesús have not yet been upgraded to murder, but that is expected to happen in coming days.

In court, Ari, appearing as a prosecution witness, told authorities Jesus came home on April 27 and admitted he had killed the three men.

Ari said he then took her outside and showed her that her car had been fitted with tyres allegedly stolen from the trio's ute.

She said she fled to her mother's home with her son after learning about what happened. She was arrested by police later that day.

Ari told officers she was a victim of domestic violence and was willing to cooperate in their investigation.

The girlfriend is talking, trying to save her own neck. Not that she was involved in the murder but failed to come forward after. Now, she's claiming domestic abuse but look at this:

Other social media posts - shared as recently as May 1 - feature adoring references to her boyfriend including referring to him as her 'husband' and memes joking that she was the dominant partner in their relationship.

Ari, who has a four-year-old son, also frequently shares posts jokes about their life as bandits and her love for bad boys.

In late April, she shared a meme showing a person sitting in a car while being followed closely by police, alongside a laughing emoji.

A day later, she shared a photo of Al Pacino with Michelle Pfeiffer in a scene from iconic crime movie Scarface, with the blurb 'pretty girls don't hang out with handsome, they hang out with crazy people!'

She captioned the post 'Mi mero mole', which translates to 'this is my thing,' alongside a drooling and laughing emoji.

On May 1 - just four days after the alleged murders - she shared a meme of a man standing with his mouth agape staring at someone off camera, with the description: 'Me watching my buddy being slapped who said he was the boss in his relationship.'

'Me with El Kekas haha,' she wrote. 'I'm still telling him.'

And, she's into *rooster* fighting (animal abuse).

From BBC article : "The suspect, who can only be described under Mexican law by his first names, Jesús Gerardo, has been charged with "forced disappearance" and his girlfriend Ari Gisel..."

Why is she pictured and named and not the suspects?

Does this case make anyone else angry with the sheer senselessness of this whole situation?

EBM for wording.
Oh yes. Really, words fail me - the senseless killing - 3 guys just doing their own thing, not hurting anyone. Bringing some joy to the world.
(Unfortunately, like so many Websleuths cases.)

The "non-straight" responses of the authorities says a lot IMO.
In areas where solid, well-known law enforcement exists, the level of compliance with the regions' laws is IMO relatively high.

I get the impression that it wasn't seen as much of an issue, and it appears to have been "sort of" addressed only because Callum and Jake Robinson, and their friend Jack Carter Rhoad were "foreigners".

IIRC, even then, it seems that serious attention and searching was only given to the situation due to Callum and Jake's parents launching a massive social media campaign to locate them. All MOO


RIP Callum, Jake and Carter.

I believe the FBI got involved, as they are probably already operating in the area, and were able to track the crucial phone pings and supply information from English-speaking friends/social media about where they'd last been. Mexico doesn't have law enforcement capacity anything like the FBI, because they are a developing ie low income country.

The Sinaloa cartel is taking some credit for apprehending the perps: https://www.skynews.com.au/australi...o/news-story/43d7f321c59fa1bae1503a1e5912deed.

Obviously everything the cartel says should be taken with a big ol’ grain of salt, but I don’t find this to be too outrageous. I didn’t really think this would end up being a cartel killing - why draw the heat of both the US and Australia and have feds all up in their territory for what, a few Ute tires and some phones? That kind of thing is small potatoes for the cartel. I think the perps were just some low level wannabe gang bangers.

Six weeks after their lives were cut short while on a surfing trip in Mexico, two Australian brothers have been laid to rest on home soil.

The service was held at Sacred Heart College in Sorrento, in Perth's north-western suburbs where the brothers graduated from school.

In an emotional speech, their parents thanked loved ones in Australia and abroad for their support and expressed just how much their sons meant to them.

The charges against Jesús have yet to be upgraded to murder, and he has not entered any pleas.

Three surfers missing in Mexico

Ramírez said the thieves allegedly went to what she called “a site that is extremely hard to get to” and allegedly dumped the bodies into a familiar well.

One of the suspects believed to be connected to the murders allegedly admitted to his girlfriend that he killed all three, Ramírez said.

The BBC reported that Ari Gisel, the girlfriend of suspected killer Jesús Gerardo Garcia Cota, said he showed up at her house on April 28 and told her he did something to “three gringos.”

After admitting to the crime, Garcia Cota reportedly took Gisel outside to show her his vehicle, which reportedly had the tires on it that were allegedly stolen from the victims’ truck, Gisel explained in court.
