The parents of two Australian brothers shot dead in Mexico have spoken publicly for the first time, saying from the US it was time to bring their sons home.

Debra and Martin Robinson have urged people to hold their loved ones closer, following the tragic murder of their sons Callum, 33, and Jake, 30.

The Robinson brothers were on a surfing trip with American friend Carter Rhoad, 30, when they were allegedly killed by Mexican nationals attempting to steal parts of their ute.

“Please live bigger, shine brighter and love harder.”
