Three more charged in connection with Knowle West murders

Three more people have been charged with two counts each of assisting an offender, in connection with the murders of Mason Rist (15) and Max Dixon (16) in Knowle West.

Mason and Max were fatally stabbed in Illminster Avenue on Saturday 27th January last year in a case of mistaken identity. Five people including four teenagers are already serving life sentences for their murders.

In a statement released today (2nd January) Avon and Somerset Police say Marcus Williams (31) from Hartcliffe plus Dominic Smith and Ellie Maddocks who are both 25 and from Westbury are the latest to be charged in the case. All three will appear at Bristol Magistrates Court on Tuesday 7th January.

Two other men, Jamie Ogbourne and Bailey Westcott, who each admitted two counts of assisting an offender in the case, have already been jailed for their involvement.

Another man and woman who were charged last year with the same offences, are due to stand trial in April.
