A GANG of teens who chased down and murdered two pals in a horrific case of mistaken identity have been jailed. Max Dixon, 16, and Mason Rist, 15, had popped out to buy pizza when they were unwittingly embroiled in a "postcode rivalry" in the Bristol suburb of Knowle.

Their killers had wrongly identified them as the culprits of an earlier attack - leading them to "tool up" with an arsenal of "fearsome weapons". Chilling CCTV then showed the gang chasing down Max and Mason as they innocently walked down the street together.

Riley Tolliver, 18, and three teenage boys aged 15, 16 and 17, have today been jailed after being found guilty of murder. Antony Snook, 45, who led a bloodthirsty hunt for the attackers in his flashy Audi through the dark streets of Bristol, was previously jailed for life with a minimum of 38 years for murder.

Mason's sister Chloe brought his ashes, hair and handprint to show his killers in a powerful victim impact statement. She said: "This is Mason's ashes and this is what you've done. If anyone is upset about me bringing them to court today, that is all I have left of him.

"I shouldn't have to look at my brother's bone fragments either. I also have a piece of his hair which has his blood on it, if you want to see it?. "This is my dead brother's handprint. Another thing you've done. I should be able to hold my brother's hand, not look at it on a piece of paper. This is all I have left of him.
