Revealed: Girlfriend of Mexican bandit accused of killing Aussie brothers and dumping them down a well is a COCKFIGHTER – as the young mother’s broken promise to the alleged murderer emerges
The girlfriend of the Mexican bandit accused of killing two Australian brothers and their American friend during a dream surfing trip is a cockfighting enthusiast and young mother.
Ari Gisell, 23, was arrested along with her partner Jesus Gerardo, 36, and his brother Cristian Alejandro after the three tourists went missing in the Baja California region on April 27.
Mexican authorities will allege that Jesus, also known as ‘El Kekas’, murdered Australian brothers Callum, 33, and Jake Robinson, 30, and US citizen Jack Carter Rhoad, 30, during a botched robbery.
The trio’s burnt-out truck was discovered on May 3 at a site in the Santo Tomas area, near their last known campsite.
Their bodies were dumped in a nearby well later that day, each with a single gunshot wound to the head.
Ari, who has been charged with drug possession and was reportedly found with a phone belonging to one of the deceased brothers, is now a key prosecution witness against her boyfriend.

In court Wednesday, where the surnames of the three Mexican suspects were suppressed, she claimed Jesus had confessed to her that he had “ruined three gringos” and stolen tires from the men.
Ari’s turn against her boyfriend comes as Daily Mail Australia can reveal she vowed to stay by his side ‘forever’ in a gushing social media post just six months ago.
Ari regularly posts about her daily life in Mexico, including her love for bad boys and cockfighting
The video shows her taking the bus with a female relative to visit Jesus, who was in prison at the time.
“I will wait for you until the end,” she wrote, alongside emojis of chains, a woman and a man.
Other social media posts — most recently shared on May 1 — contain admiring references to her boyfriend, including references to him as her “husband” and memes joking that she was the dominant partner in their relationship.
Ari, who has a four-year-old son, also regularly shares jokes about their lives as bandits and her love for naughty boys.
In late April, she shared a meme showing a person sitting in a car while being closely followed by police, alongside a laughing emoji.
A day later, she shared a photo of Al Pacino with Michelle Pfeiffer in a scene from the iconic crime film Scarface, with the tagline “pretty girls don’t hang out with pretty people, they hang out with crazy people!”
She captioned the post “Mi mero mol,” which translates to “this is my thing,” alongside a drooling and laughing emoji.
On May 1 – just four days after the alleged murders – she shared a meme of a man staring at someone off camera with his mouth open, with the description: “I saw my buddy get beat up and told him he was the boss in his relationship. .’
“Me with El Kekas haha,” she wrote. “I still tell him.”
In addition to her self-proclaimed penchant for criminals, Ari is also a cockfighter, with online photos of her posing next to roosters and trophies.
Ari shared posts online about El Kekas – whom she described as her ‘husband’
Ari, who is a mother, boasted in online posts that she was the “boss” in the couple’s relationship. However, she told police behind closed doors that she was a victim of domestic violence.
She regularly documents her daily life online, sharing images of herself playing with her roosters, spending time with her friends and young son, and riding cows and horses on a rural estate.
Jesus, the accused ringleader of the execution killings of the Robinson brothers and Mr Rhoad, has been charged with forcible kidnapping and was brought to trial on Wednesday.
In court, Ari, who appeared as a prosecution witness, told authorities that Jesus came home on April 27 and admitted to killing the three men.
Ari said he then took her outside and showed her that her car was equipped with tires that were allegedly stolen from the trio’s car.
She said she fled to her mother’s house with her son after hearing what happened. Later that day she was arrested by police.
Ari told officers she was a victim of domestic violence and was willing to cooperate with their investigation.
Jesus has not entered a plea and it is expected his charge could still be upgraded to murder.

The Robinson brothers, originally from Perth, and Mr Rhoad were on a road trip along the west coast of northern Mexico when they failed to check into their pre-arranged Airbnb on April 27.
Two days later they were reported missing, sparking a desperate search by authorities, who became alarmed when they went to their last known location and discovered their campsite covered in blood.
Days later, authorities found their burned-out car and bodies at the bottom of a four-meter-high pit.
A fourth body was also found in the well, believed to belong to the owner of the property. The police assume he has been murdered before.
Police allege El Kekas, who has a criminal record for drug trafficking, car theft and domestic violence, shot the men after they resisted when he stole their tires.
His brother, who was also arrested, is charged with drug possession.
El Kekas is due to appear in court in November.
