Woman jailed for 20 years over murder of Australian surfer brothers in Mexico

Ari Gisell Silva Raya was sentenced to 20 years for instigating a violent robbery that led to the execution-style killings of three surfers during a 2024 trip in Baja California.

  • On Thursday, authorities said Ary Gisell Silva Raya was sentenced to two decades after pleading guilty to robbery with violence in the killings of an American and two Australian surfers last year.
  • Prosecutors say Silva Raya contacted the tourists in Punta San Jose and instigated companions to rob them, and she was the romantic partner of Jesús Gerardo, one of the accused.
  • Investigators say the surfers were robbed, shot and their bodies dumped in a remote well, with remains later found about 50 miles south of Ensenada, Mexico.
  • The three men charged remain in custody and face trial, as prosecutors seek 210-year sentences and two suspects are held in maximum-security prison with alleged Sinaloa drug cartel ties.
