Authorities in Mexico are looking into the murder of three tourists on a remote beach in Baja California. The current theory points to a robbery gone wrong where the victims appear to have tried to resist.
According to Baja California’s Attorney General Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez, authorities found three bodies that appear to be those of three missing tourists. The bodies had been shot and dumped in a 45-foot chasm, La Voz de La Frontera reported.
The three tourists had initially been reported missing on April 26. It remains unclear when the fourth body was dumped in the chasm.
In their report, La Voz de La Frontera claimed that the three tourists had been spending time at a beach in Ensenada when a group of robbers came up on them in an attempt to steal items from their truck. The three tourists resisted, and the robbers killed them during the struggle. Investigators arrested three men in connection with the incident.
