TIJUANA, Mexico: Relatives on Sunday identified the bodies of two Australians and an American shot dead in a suspected robbery in Mexico, authorities said, marking a tragic end to the search for the missing surfers.

The corpses were found with bullet wounds to their heads, officials in crime-hit Baja California state said, suggesting an execution-style triple homicide.
