Four Mexicans facing charges in relation to the killing of two Australian and one American surfers in 2024 have had yet another preliminary hearing delayed

The hearing on Friday in the Baja California beach city of Ensenada reset hearing dates for the four ? two of whom were present, while the other two watched via video from their respective prisons.

Brothers Jake and Callum Robinson from Australia and American Jack Carter Rhoad had apparently stopped to surf the breaks between Punta San Jos?, about 80km south of Ensenada, and La Bocana, further north on the coast in April 2024.

They were attacked at their campsite and their bodies were dumped into a well about six kilometres away.

The hearing did confirm that the cases of the four accused will advance separately. The man facing the most serious charges had his hearing rescheduled for August 9, while the other three were set for November 13, to give them more time to reach deals with prosecutors.
