A Mexican court has heard chilling details of the events that prosecutors allege followed the deaths of Perth brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and their American friend, as a man faces charges relating to their disappearance.
According to Australian News, Jesús Gerardo, also known as "El Kekas", appeared before a court in the Mexican city of Ensenada this morning, where his last name had been suppressed according to local laws.
The judge read out the state's case, in which Jesús's then-girlfriend, 23-year-old Ari Gisell has turned prosecution witness.
The prosecution alleged Ari, whose last name had also been suppressed, told authorities her then-partner had admitted to killing the three men.
The court heard she told investigators her then-romantic partner had arrived at her house on Sunday and told her "I fucked 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.
When Ari had turned on the stolen mobile phone, she attracted the attention of Mexican authorities. Ari was arrested in relation to the trio's disappearance, along with Jesús's brother, Cristian Alejandro.
Upon her arrest, the court heard she told investigators she wanted to assist the investigation because she had a four-year-old daughter who she needed to care for.
She alleges Jesús has a history of domestic violence and had been physically and mentally abusing her.
She has been charged with drug possession after being found with methamphetamine.
Jesús is yet to enter a plea and has been remanded in custody until his next court hearing, which is scheduled to take place on November 8.
