Teens detained for life over mistaken identity murder

Four teenagers who murdered two boys in Bristol in a case of mistaken identity were detained for life.
Riley Tolliver, 18, and Kodishai Westcott, 17, along with a a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified, were convicted of the murders of Mason Rist, 15, and 16-year-old Max Dixon in November.
A 15-year-old boy was also found guilty of the murder of Max after previously pleading guilty to the murder of Mason.
All four were sentenced to be detained at His Majesty's pleasure - the juvenile equivalent of a life sentence - during a hearing at Bristol Crown Court.
Tolliver and Westcott were told they will serve minimum terms of 24 years in custody - less time spent on remand - while the 16-year-old will serve at least 19 years and the 15-year-old 16-and-a-half years.
The judge, Mrs Justice May, told them: "The boys you killed were Mason Rist and Max Dixon. They were your age. They had done nothing wrong."
Getaway driver Anthony Snook, 45, was jailed for life at an earlier hearing and told he will serve a minimum term of 38 years.
The group wrongly believed their victims, who had gone out to get pizza, had attacked Westcott's house, in the Hartcliffe area of the city, with bricks earlier the same evening.
Max and Mason were chased and attacked with weapons, including machetes, a bat, and a sword.
The boys suffered "instant severe blood loss" after being stabbed and died of their wounds later that night in the Knowle West area.
The fatal attack was captured by a CCTV camera on Mason's house and lasted just 33 seconds.
