Trio guilty of assisting killers of Max and Mason in Bristol

Three people have been found guilty of helping the killers of best friends Max Dixon and Mason Rist after the double murder.

Ellie-Mae Maddocks and Dominic Smith, both 26, of Westbury-on-Trym, and Marcus Williams, 32, from Hartcliffe, denied the charge of assisting an offender but all were convicted at Bristol Crown Court.

Jillian Tolliver, 51, of Hartcliffe, was found to have committed the act of assisting an offender. She was deemed unfit to stand trial and was tried on the facts of the case.

Last year Riley Tolliver, 18, Kodi Wescott, 17, and Anthony Snook, 46, and two teenagers who cannot be named for legal reasons, were convicted of the murders of Max, 16, and Mason, 15, in Bristol.
