Five guilty of murdering Bristol teens


A group of teenagers and a man have been found guilty of murdering two best friends in a case of mistaken identity.

Mason Rist, 15, and Max Dixon, 16, were stabbed to death yards from Mason’s front door in Knowle West, Bristol, on 27 January.

Anthony Snook, 45, Riley Tolliver, 18, and two boys, 17 and 16, had all denied murder.

A 15-year-old boy admitted murdering Mason but denied killing Max, however a jury at Bristol Crown Court found each member of the group guilty of both murders.

Snook will be sentenced on 19 November, with the four teenagers due to be sentenced on 16 December.

During the trial, the court heard Max, 16, and Mason, 15, each received fatal stab wounds from two machetes.

One of the weapons used had a blade length of 42cm (16.5in), while a second was 41cm (16in).
