The "gang ride out" murder of Max & Mason in Bristol

Four teenagers and a 45-year-old man have been convicted of murdering two boys whom they had mistaken for the perpetrators of an earlier attack on a house in Bristol linked to a long-running postcode rivalry. Mason Rist, 15, and Max Dixon, 16, were fatally attacked with machetes in the Knowle West area of the city on the evening of 27 January. Bristol crown court heard that the group of five defendants – Antony Snook, 45, Riley Tolliver, 18, and three boys aged 15, 16 and 17 – had driven to the area in Snook’s Audi with “some pretty fearsome weapons”. Mason and Max received stab injuries and both died in hospital in the early hours of 28 January. One of the teenagers picked up a McDonald’s meal and drinks six hours after the attack, the court heard. On Friday the jury found all five defendants guilty of the murders of both boys. The 15-year-old defendant, who was 14 at the time of the attack, had already pleaded guilty to the murder of Mason, while the 17-year-old, who was 16 at the time of the killings, had admitted manslaughter in the case of Max but denied murdering either boy. The families of the victims cheered and embraced in the court as the first of the guilty verdicts were read out. Some of the verdicts were agreed on a majority basis. In statements released after the verdict, the families said the boys had known each other since nursery school. They said: “Today’s outcome doesn’t change the fact that two families go home without their boys.” The group were seeking revenge for an attack on a house in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol in which windows were smashed and a woman was injured, but they were “entirely wrong” in thinking Mason and Max were responsible, the court heard. The origin of the events in the case could be linked to a rivalry of many years between Hartcliffe, or BS13, and Knowle, or BS4, the jury was told.
