Accused killers of Australian brothers on Mexico surf trip seek plea deal
Three of the four people charged over the killing of Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad in a robbery that turned deadly are seeking to strike a deal with Mexican prosecutors and avoid trial. A second court hearing into the men's deaths was held in Ensenada, in Baja California, on Friday afternoon (Saturday morning AEST). The Robinson brothers, from Perth's northern suburbs, were killed while on a surf trip to the Baja California peninsula in April last year. They were travelling with Rhoad, from San Diego, in a Chevrolet Colorado pick-up to their Punta San Jose campsite on the region's coastline. Prosecutors believe the trio was targeted by criminals looking to steal their car's tyres, and were killed when they resisted. Four people have been charged in relation to their deaths. During the hearing on Friday, lawyers for one of the accused – 24-year-old woman Ari Giselle, who has been charged with drug possession and possession of robbed articles in relation to the men's deaths – indicated to the judge that she was seeking a plea deal. That prompted the same request from two of the other accused, Angel Jesus and Irineo Francisco. They both face more serious charges – aggravated homicide, aggravated robbery, violent robbery, grand theft auto and forced disappearance.

Accused killers on trial for Australian brothers' deaths sent to ‘Mexico's toughest prison'
Two of the men accused of murdering Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson and their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad will remain in a notorious maximum-security prison in the Mexican desert while lawyers determine the facts of the case. Two court hearings into the men's deaths were held back-to-back in Ensenada, in Baja California, on Thursday afternoon (Friday morning AEST). The Robinson brothers, from Perth's northern suburbs, were killed while on a surf trip to the Baja California peninsula in April last year. The brothers were travelling with Rhoad, a San Diego local, and drove a Chevrolet Colorado pick-up to their Punta San Jose campsite on the region's coastline. Four people will be tried in connection with the men's alleged murders. Prosecutors believe the trio was targeted by criminals looking to steal their car's tyres, and were killed when they resisted. However, this masthead understands the surfing spot where the men had been camping, La Bocana, which is almost two hours from a main road and accessible only by four-wheel-drive, is a 'hot spot' for local drug labs and marijuana plantations. The beach is used to transport drugs and migrants across the ocean to the United States. It is also understood that one of the men accused of the murders, Jesús Gerardo, had a long background with law enforcement, including connections to organised crime and allegedly corrupt Mexican police officers.

2026 Chevrolet Colorado Pricing Doesn't Break The Bank

Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. 2% Increase Doesn't Sting Good news! While a price increase is never a good thing, the one coming to the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado is not too bad. According to order guide data obtained by CarsDirect, the midsize pickup truck will be going up by no more than 1.8%, with the most expensive dollar rise still only $900. The Colorado is now approaching its third model year after arriving for 2023, and with only small changes, GM has not seen fit to overly inflate the price. By contrast, other 2026 arrivals across all sorts of segments – like the GMC Acadia, the BMW M5, and the Chevrolet Trax – have all swelled by four figures for the new model year. Of course, there are varying reasons for varying price adjustments, but it's still a welcome relief when a small one happens. 0:00 / 0:09 Audi A5 replaces A4: So, what's changed? Watch More A Closer Look At 2026 Chevy Colorado Pricing Source: Chevrolet Kicking off the range is the base Colorado WT, which sees a $500 increase to start at $32,400, excluding destination. Next up is the LT, which only goes up 200 bucks to a nice round $36,000. Then it's the Colorado Trail Boss and Z71, which match the WT's $500 increase to start at $40,400 and $44,400, respectively. Finally, the most expensive model in the range, the ZR2, saw the biggest price increase for 2026 at $900, now starting at $50,500. For the extra money, no major changes will be made, but buyers will be able to choose from White Sands paint, which is currently available on the Trailblazer, and new 20-inch wheel options. MY2025 Price MY2026 Price Difference Colorado WT $32,400 +$500 Colorado LT $36,000 +$200 Colorado Trail Boss $40,400 +$500 Colorado Z71 $44,400 +$500 Colorado ZR2 $50,500 +$900 How The Colorado Compares To The Competition Those willing to shop around might consider the Ford Ranger, which for the 2025 model year starts at $33,350 in base XL form and goes up to $56,070 in Raptor guise. Alternatively, the Toyota Tacoma arrives at a significantly lower price point, with its SR starting at just $31,590, but with 11 trims available for 2025, there's a lot more room to spend, particularly when you get to the hybrid trims. In its priciest form (TRD Pro), the Tacoma starts at $64,135. The cheapest pickup in this segment, however, is the Nissan Frontier S, starting at $32,050 and going up to $41,810 in SL form. All of the above prices exclude destination and apply to 2025 variants of the Colorado's rivals, so there will probably be similar increases when Ford, Toyota, and Nissan release 2026 pricing.
