All five were found guilty of both murders and jailed for life, and at the sentencing hearings in November and December<\/a>, the judge in the case, Mrs Justice May, imposed a minimum tariff on each of the five. Those tariffs stated how long each of those convicted will have to serve in prison before they will be eligible to apply to be released on parole.<\/p>\n Antony Snook was the only adult involved in the murders, which shocked the nation 18 months ago. He drove the car with four armed teenagers from Hartcliffe<\/a> to Knowle West, and sped the four away from the scene after the four attacked Max and Mason. The victims had just left Mason\u2019s house to visit a local takeaway.<\/p>\n Snook, 45, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 38 years<\/a>, minus the 292 days he spent in custody awaiting trial. This means he will spend just over 37 years in prison, and be 82 years old when he is eligible to apply for parole.<\/p>\n When he was sentenced, Mrs Justice May told Snook he was just as responsible for the murders<\/a> – if not more so, because the other four were teenagers. \u201cYou were the only adult,\u201d the judge told Snook.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were multiple opportunities for you to have stopped this madness, to have taken the boys back, to have locked the car doors so they could not get out, or to have refused to leave Hartcliffe with them in the first place.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Every word said by the judge to sentence Antony Snook for double murder of Max and Mason<\/a>READ MORE: Four teenagers jailed for life for murder of Max Dixon and Mason Rist in Bristol<\/a><\/p>\n “There has been no evidence of any mental deficiency or disorder which may have compromised your thinking, no indication of any influence or pressure brought to bear on you.<\/p>\n \u201cHow you came to agree to take those four boys to Knowle remains unexplained. You were certainly no friend to them when you did so. The consequences of your refusal to act like a responsible adult, like the adult who can say \u2018no\u2019, has resulted in the deaths of two innocent boys,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Riley Tolliver was 17 when he joined the attack on Max and Mason in Ilminster Avenue last January, and was named when the trial started as he had turned 18 in the time since. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years and 47 days to be served before he is eligible for parole.<\/p>\n Kodi Wescott was 16 when he fatally stabbed both Max and then a stricken Mason outside his home. Restrictions on naming Wescott were lifted by the judge when she sentenced him<\/a> to life, with a minimum term of 23 years and 44 days.<\/p>\n![\"Bristol](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0_Antony-Snook-45-who-has-been-jailed-at-Bristol-Crown-Court-for-life-with-a-minimum-term-of-38-year.jpeg\")
