A SLAIN schoolboy's sister clutched his ashes in court yesterday as she confronted his teenage killers and said: "This is all I have left of him."
Chloe Rist broke down in tears as four teenagers were jailed for life after hacking her brother Mason, 15, and his friend Max Dixon, 16, to death.
In a devastating victim impact statement, Chloe held up Mason's remains, a lock of his hair and his handprints.
She told Bristol crown court: "This is what you have done. I should not have to look at his brain fragments.
"I've got his hair with dried blood on. I have my dead brother's handprints.
"I should be able to hold my brother's hand and not a piece of paper. This is all I have left of him."
