Jamie Ogbourne and Bailey Wescott were sentenced to five years and three months for assisting the murderers of Max Dixon and Mason Rist, who were killed in a case of mistaken identity in January.
This is the moment a man was caught on camera burning evidence to try and cover up the double murder of two best friends who were killed in a case of mistaken identity. Jamie Ogbourne, 27, and Bailey Wescott, 23, were jailed today for assisting the murderers of Max Dixon, 16, and Mason Rist, 15, who were senselessly hunted down and stabbed to death as they walked to get a pizza in Bristol on January 27.
Antony Snook, Riley Tolliver, 18, and three teenagers aged 15, 16 and 17, were convicted of murdering the boys in November. But Bristol Crown Court heard today how Ogbourne and Wescott both helped to clean the weapons used to fatally stab Max and Mason. Wescott was even caught on CCTV lighting a fire in the back garden of a property in Hartcliffe in Bristol and burning clothes, with Wescott helping a short time later. The court also heard how Ogbourne then further assisted the offenders by taking two of the teenagers away to his address, later providing them with a phone and some money. Both Ogbourne and Wescott were jailed for five years and three months after pleading guilty to two counts of assisting an offender. The court heard overnight on Saturday 27 to Sunday 28 January, Ogbourne and Wescott aided Snook, Tolliver and three teenagers in murdering Max and Mason in Ilminster Avenue, Knowle
