Three men get 158 years each for murdering American and Australian surfers, dumping bodies in Mexican well

17 October 2026 at 18:38

Three men in Mexico received 158-year prison sentences Friday for the murders of Australian surfers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend Carter Redd Rhoad.

A federal judge in the town of Ensenada, Baja California sentenced Jesús Gerardo García, Irineo Francisco and Ángel Jesús each to 158 years and nine months in prison for murder, robbery with violence and vehicle theft with violence.

An accomplice of García's — Ary Gisell Silva Raya — was also convicted of aggravated robbery with violence and vehicle theft with violence and sentenced to 20 years in November after agreeing to an abbreviated trial.

García, Francisco and Jesús were convicted last week of killing the Robinson brothers and Rhoad, which authorities said was carried out in order to steal the tires from the deceased men's truck.

"The attackers pull out a gun they were carrying and kill the person who initially resisted the robbery, then on the other two," Baja California prosecutor María Elena Andrade said, according to a report from The Associated Press.

Mexican authorities found the trio's bodies in a well in the state of Baja California in May 2024.

The three men traveled to Punta San José, about 50 miles from where their bodies were found in Ensenada, for a surfing trip in April 2024.

The parents of the Robinsons attended the sentencing, telling reporters the moment marked a significant conclusion to the tragic two years since their sons' deaths.

"Today’s guilty verdict is a significant moment in our long and painful journey to seek justice for our beautiful sons, Callum and Jake, and their friend Carter Rhoad, whose lives were so cruelly taken from them in 2024," Matin Robinson said.

The deaths captured international attention and rocked the local economy, which authorities said was heavily reliant on tourism.

Antonio Otañez, president of the Baja California surfers association, said he was happy to see justice served but admitted the incident led to a "major drop" in tourism.

Selma Blair ‘did not intend to harm anyone’ during airplane incident, representatives say

Actor experienced a ‘medical emergency’ on flight during which she allegedly injured crew members, statement says

Actor Selma Blair did not mean to hurt anyone during the recent flight which led to her arrest on allegations that she assaulted a pair of cabin crew members, a police officer and a nurse, her representatives said on Friday in a statement that characterized the episode as a medical emergency.

The lengthy statement also dismissed prior media coverage of Blair’s arrest after a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles to New York as unsympathetic and inaccurate, singling out reporting from several outlets alleging that she tried to open the door of the airplane that she and her fellow passengers were on.

Plaque telling story of African-Caribbean prisoners in Britain stolen within days

Descendants say theft from Portchester Castle reflects racism that has haunted ‘generation after generation’

The theft of a plaque in Hampshire that told the little-known story of African-Caribbean prisoners in 18th-century Britain reflects the enduring racism that has fuelled centuries of atrocities against Black and Indigenous Caribbean people, their descendants say.

Ronald Raymond McDonald, a professional drummer, was part of a delegation that travelled from Belize and elsewhere to Portchester Castle near Portsmouth last week to honour their ancestors: 2,500 men, women and children transported to Britain as prisoners of war in 1796.

“La cronaca nera? A rimetterci sono i morti in vita. Garlasco il giallo perfetto, sia Stasi che Sempio potrebbero essere innocenti e il caso rimarrebbe irrisolto”: così Carlo Lucarelli

17 October 2026 at 11:10

“Vedo un’eccessiva spettacolarizzazione che potrebbe logorare l’interesse del pubblico. I tempi lunghi sono suicidi per il true crime perché il pubblico si aspetta una verità finale in tempi ragionevolmente brevi come nei romanzi gialli dove c’è un Poirot che riunisce tutti in salotto, indica l’assassino e quello confessa. Qui ci vorranno anni per avere peraltro una verità solo giudiziaria”.

Così Carlo Lucarelli, scrittore e narratore storico della cronaca nera italiana, inquadra le dinamiche del caso Garlasco in un’intervista al Corriere della Sera. Un delitto che, sebbene tragicamente reale, possiede secondo l’autore elementi prettamente letterari: “I protagonisti del romanzo giallo ci sono tutti: Stasi il biondino dagli occhi di ghiaccio, Sempio il torbido, Lovati l’imprevedibile, personaggio straordinario”.

L'articolo “La cronaca nera? A rimetterci sono i morti in vita. Garlasco il giallo perfetto, sia Stasi che Sempio potrebbero essere innocenti e il caso rimarrebbe irrisolto”: così Carlo Lucarelli proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.

Not cool: who hacked France’s supermarket fridges?

17 October 2026 at 05:00

Whether it was youngsters proving their skills or state sabotage, Europe’s most hacked country was left with a mountain of waste after food began cooking in freezers

Shortly before midnight last Sunday, the digital thermostats controlling hundreds of supermarket cold aisles across France began to flicker and rise.

In a “bizarre and unprecedented” cyber-attack, hackers had remotely overridden the temperature settings on thousands of freezers, fridges and chiller cabinets pushing them from as low as -27C (-16.6F) to well over 50C (122F).
