Teenagers Fatally Stabbed in Bristol Mistaken Identity Attack

A 15-year-old admits to the murder of Mason Rist while a 17-year-old pleads guilty to the manslaughter of Max Dixon in a case involving multiple defendants.

Mason Rist, 15, and Max Dixon, 16, were mistakenly identified and attacked by a group in Bristol, resulting in their deaths from stab wounds.
The attack, captured on CCTV, lasted only 33 seconds and involved five defendants, including three teenagers who cannot be named due to their age.
A 15-year-old has admitted to murdering Mason Rist, while a 17-year-old has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Max Dixon but denies intent to kill.
The prosecution argues that the attack was a revenge act fueled by a longstanding rivalry between two Bristol neighborhoods, Knowle West and Hartcliffe.
The trial at Bristol Crown Court involves charges against all five defendants for the murders of both teenagers, with proceedings expected to continue until November.
