testified in an earlier hearing in 2024<\/a> that Jes\u00fas Gerardo confessed to the killings, telling the court at the time he said, “I f***ed up three gringos \u2026 I killed them.”<\/p>\n‘They had good tyres’<\/p>\n
In her testimony on Monday, Gisell told the court details that had never been publicised about the day the Robinson brothers and Carter Rhoad were killed.<\/p>\n
She said she previously could not remember many of the details because of her drug use, but has since been sober for more than two years in prison.<\/p>\n
Gisell told the court they first met the Robinson brothers and Carter Rhoad at Punta San Jos\u00e9, a remote surfing location where the tourists were camping.<\/p>\n
The court heard Jes\u00fas Gerardo told her to ask the men for fuel because their car was empty.<\/p>\n
Gisell described the tourists as very “kind” and “friendly”, and said they offered to share their fuel.<\/p>\n
“I told El Kekas they had good tyres, and good phones,” she said, but told the court she was not encouraging him to rob the men.<\/p>\n
Gisell said she and Jes\u00fas Gerardo left the beach and returned to his mother’s home, but he and his stepson later went back to the beach.<\/p>\n
She told the court the stepson took a shirt to wrap around his face to hide his identity because “it was going to be his first job”.<\/p>\n
Gisell recalled being told that the victims threw their car keys and wallets out of their camping tent and “begged not to be killed”.<\/p>\n
“Gerardo told me that he had shot one of them with a gun when they opened the tent door,” Gisell told the court.<\/p>\n
Jes\u00fas Gerardo and the stepson later returned to his mother’s home in the tourists’ car, which Gisell said was splattered with blood.<\/p>\n

She said when Jes\u00fas Gerardo came back he had three phones in his pocket, two chain necklaces, and his boots were covered in blood.<\/p>\n
The court heard he mocked his stepson because he was too afraid to participate in the killings, joking that “without [his stepson’s] help, they wouldn’t have been able to do anything”, Gisell said.<\/p>\n
Witness says suspect boasted about killings<\/p>\n
Gisell told the court she did not ask Jes\u00fas Gerardo any questions about the incident because she was afraid of him due to his reputation as a hit man, and because he was violent.<\/p>\n
She later found out about the two other accused killers’ involvement when Jes\u00fas Gerardo was boasting about how he killed the three foreigners, she told the court.<\/p>\n

Gisell also said the Robinson brothers and Carter Rhoad were good people who deserved justice, and she empathised with their parents as a mother herself.<\/p>\n
The trial was initially expected to take four weeks, but is now expected to take longer due to a sudden change in the presiding judge, and scheduling issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the men accused of killing Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":892480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,9753,169879,461997,169878,2184,44],"class_list":["post-892479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-baja-california","tag-callum-robinson","tag-carter-rhoad","tag-jake-robinson","tag-mexico","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=892479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/892479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/892480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=892479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=892479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=892479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
