The girlfriend of one of the Perth brothers killed execution-style on

The bodies of Callum, 33, and Jake Robinson, 30, and their American

they were found in a well.

All three were shot in the head in a botched robbery by thieves who
wanted their ute for spare parts, authorities believe.
Callum's girlfriend Emily Horwath has paid tribute to her partner with
a saved Instagram highlight, featuring a saved voice message he left
her.
"Happy Tuesday! Good morning," Callum said in the message.
"It's 11.11 and I'm just thinking about you. Just wanted to drop you a
quick message and say hello, baby.
"Hope you're having a phenomenal start to your day. I'm sensing a big
grin on your face for some reason today. I hope you're full of
positivity and smiles.
"Cheers, baby. Miss ya."

Emily captioned the story: "Will be playing this on repeat."
"That's exactly who you were. Positivity and smiles."
Emily previously said Callum was "one of one".
"My heart is shattered into a million pieces," she said.
"I don't have the words right now.
"I will love you forever."
"Beyond sad the world has lost you too soon Callum," a friend said in
an Instagram story reshared by Emily.
"The world is cruel and unfair but you were not.
"Heaven has the best. We love you."
Friends remembered the 33-year-old as "one of the most beautiful and
loving souls".
"This world lost one of its kindest, silliest and most genuine souls
this week," one friend said.
"Heaven welcomed the purest, kindest angel," another said.

A friend of Jake paid tribute to the 30-year-old, saying: "It was an
honour to have known and worked with you."
Mexico Foreign Minister Alicia Barcena offered condolences to the
men's parents, saying her office "expresses its solidarity with the
families of the victims in the face of this tragic event and deeply
regrets the outcome of the events".
Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the identification of the bodies
was "frankly horrendous news".
"I think the whole country's heart goes out to all of their loved
ones. It has been an absolutely horrendous, absolutely horrific ordeal
and our thoughts are with all of them," he said.
The brothers were in northern Mexico on a surfing holiday when they
failed to check in to pre-arranged accommodation near the city of
Ensenada.
Family travelled to Baja California in northern Mexico and identified
the bodies as the brothers.
Authorities found the remains in a remote 15m well on a clifftop on
Baja Peninsula on Mexico's west coast on Saturday.
Thieves are believed to have killed the three men to steal their truck
for the tyres, and then allegedly got rid of the bodies about 6km
away.
Three suspects are being held in connection with the case.
One of the three has been charged with forced disappearance,
equivalent to kidnapping.
