Major update in effort to bring home two Australian brothers Jake and Callum ... trends now

The bodies of murdered Perth brothers Callum and Jake Robinson have been moved into the United States, beginning their journey home after they were killed in an attempted carjacking in Baja California. 

The brother's deaths sparked an outpouring of grief after they disappeared on April 27 while on a surfing trip in the northern Mexican state. They were found at the bottom of a well a week later.

Callum and Jake's American friend Jack Carter Rhoad was also killed.

On Friday the men's bodies were moved to a funeral home in San Diego, with the bodies are expected to then be transferred back to Perth.

The news comes after the infamous Sinaloa Cartel claimed it 'handed' over the alleged killers of the men.

Jesus Gerardo Garica Cota, also known as 'El Kekas', along with his brother Cristian Alejandro and girlfriend Ari Gisel have since been arrested by Mexican authorities.

But in a stunning twist the ­Sinaloa Cartel - one of the most powerful drug syndicates in the criminal underworld - broke its silence over the trio's deaths and claimed it had turned the alleged killers in.

A cartel member said the three were not part of the cartel.

'They were low-level robbers acting alone,' the anonymous member told US outlet The Daily Beast. 'But we handed them over.

'We learned that the cops were looking for the gringos and also began looking for those who were responsible. We called the authorities to let them know where to find them.'

The cartel member said the criminal organisation was afraid of getting 'unwanted attention' from Mexican authorities.
