Bristol Crown Court heard that psychiatric assessments of Jillian Tolliver, 51, from Hartcliffe, deemed she was not fit to stand trial due to her mental health.

However, although she is not present in court, the prosecution is continuing with the case against her.

She is accused of assisting Riley Tolliver, who was one of five people found guilty late last year of the murders of teen boys Max Dixon and Mason Rist.

She was accused alongside Riley Tolliver’s father, Kristian Hooper, a 48-year-old from Weston-super-Mare, in arranging for Riley to stay with his paternal grandmother in Weston on the day after the attack in Knowle West back in January 2024.
