CNN —Mexican authorities said Sunday that three bodies found in the state of Baja California earlier this week had been murdered and are “most likely” those of three missing surfers from the US and Australia.
“It’s most likely that the three bodies are those of the three surfers, but the family is still going through the identification process,” Andrade said.
She added that the three bodies had been determined as having been murdered but had not yet been formally identified.
Family members of the surfers arrived in Tijuana on Saturday and would examine the corpses on Sunday afternoon, Andrade said.
A local police source told CNN that authorities also found the men’s pickup truck, burned out, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) from where the bodies were found.
