Mexican judge sentences three men to 158 years in prison for murders of Australian and US surfers
What the coverage shows
Both BBC News and The Guardian US lead with the sentence length and the fact that three men were jailed over the murders of Australian and US surfers in Mexico. The BBC adds that the killings were in an apparent botched robbery, while The Guardian US names the victims and says they were on a surf trip in Baja California in 2024.
