A British traveller who was shot dead alongside two friends in Mexico's 'murder capital' was unlawfully killed, a coroner concluded today.
Ben Corser, 36, was sitting in the back of a car outside a supermarket in Colima, western Mexico, in May 2022 when he was fatally shot alongside two others in the vehicle, a court heard.
The software engineer's father told a coroner the trio were 'tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time'.
Emma Hillson, assistant coroner for Cornwall, said the 36-year-old Briton had been travelling around Mexico since January 2022.
She added: 'He had been very happy and enjoying a sociable time.
