Police make fifth arrest in double murder probe of two teens in Bristol
- 3 months ago
A fundraiser to give two teenage boys stabbed to death in Bristol the 'send off they deserve' has already raised thousands of pounds.
The community in Knowle West is still coming to terms with the deaths of Mason Rist, 15, and Max Dixon, 16, who were attacked on Saturday night by a group of people who fled the scene in a car.
Tributes have poured in for the boys who some neighbours said yesterday were innocent victims of a 'postcode lottery.'
Four suspects, including three men, 44, 22, and 20, and a 15-year-old boy, have been arrested for murder and remain in police custody.
A GoFundMe page has now been set up by Max's auntie Christine Fothergill to raise money to help the families with funeral costs.
It has already raised nearly £5k since been made live on Sunday - half of its 10k target -with nearly 300 individual donations.
On the page, Christine writes: "I would like to raise money for Max and Mason, both boys died last night in Bristol though being stabbed age 16 and 15.
"All money will go towards both families to help with funeral cost any donations would be grateful thanku."
Among the tributes let on the page were one which said: "Max you will be missed so much, that cheeky grin of yours. (We) will never forget the many memories. Fly high."
Another read: "Sending love and prayers to Max and Mason's family and friends, we're all thinking of them."
