Relatives have positively identified three bodies found in a well as those of two Australian surfers and one American who went missing last weekend, Mexican authorities said on Sunday.

Baja California state prosecutors said the relatives had viewed the corpses recovered from a remote well about 15 metres deep and recognised them as their loved ones.
