Three people have been charged with aiding the murderers of two boys in Bristol last year, appearing in court this week.
Max Dixon and Mason Rist, both just kids, were chased down and stabbed in a case of mistaken identity. It all went down in Knowle West last January. Can you believe that?
Five others have already been sentenced for the murders. It’s a real mess. Now, Marcus Williams, Dominic Smith, and Ellie Maddocks are facing their own charges. They were in front of the magistrates this week.
The charges say that Maddocks and Smith helped two of the murderers stay overnight before moving them to another place. Williams is accused of driving one of the guys to a different location.
They didn’t enter any pleas yet. The judge told them they’ll have to go to the crown court in February. They’ve got bail for now, but if they don’t show up, they could get arrested.
Max and Mason were best friends since they were little. It’s just heartbreaking. They were attacked right outside Mason’s home.
The others involved in the murder were found guilty after a long trial. Some of them got life sentences, which is just wild.
Now, these three will be back in court soon for more hearings. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.
