A MUM has revealed her horror after her son’s jailed teen killer gloated about murdering him and a pal in vile social media posts.
Kodi Wescott was one of five brutes locked up for stabbing Max Dixon, 16, and Mason Rist, 15, to death in a chilling case of mistaken identity.

The friends had simply popped out to buy pizza when they were hunted down by a gang of teens and murdered.
Wescott, 17, has now returned to social media to “gloat” about the horrific double killing, Bristol Post reports.
An Instagram account was set up in January – a month after the teen was jailed for life – under his name.
The account includes a reference to the 13s – a South Bristol gang – and a padlock with the year 2048, which is when Wescott will be eligible for parole.
Another post shows the killer in the corridor of his secure unit but with a large padlock emoji covering his face.
A video shared in February features a sick rap with lyrics referencing Mason and Max’s killing – including one line, saying: “weres XXX he up in his coffin [sic].
A second video of a different rap references “33 seconds”, which is the duration of the gruesome attack on the two innocent boys.
An urgent investigation has now been launched by the Ministry of Justice and its Youth Custody Service.
Mason’s mum Nikki Knight has also spoken out to reveal her anguish over the posts.
She said: “I’m disgusted about it all. The whole things has made me so angry.
“How do so many people have access to phones in prison?
“I know the prison services do their utmost to monitor it and remove them when they find them.
“But I think more stuff needs to be done to stop this happening.”
Nikki also told how she can’t bring herself to watch the vile videos but is disgusted knowing it’s out there and being shared.
The mum is now planning to meet with members of the prison services to try to lock the account down.
The MOJ have gone to Meta demanding the page be taken down immediately.
A Youth Custody Service spokesperson said: “Our thoughts are with the families of Max Dixon and Mason Rist who deserve better than to see this killer gloating about these awful murders.
“Young offenders are not permitted to access social media or mobile phones and face sanctions if they are caught doing so, including extra time in custody.
“We are investigating these recordings with the council that runs the Secure Children’s Home where Kodishai Wescott is held and have demanded that social media companies take them down.”

Mason and Max were attacked on January 27 last year amid a postcode “rivalry” between the Knowle West and Hartcliffe areas of Bristol.
Their killers had wrongly identified the boys as the culprits of an earlier attack – leading them to “tool up” with an arsenal of “fearsome weapons”.
Chilling CCTV showed the gang chasing down Max and Mason as they innocently walked down the street together.
Both pals attempted to run back towards Mason’s home nearby but were separated during the hunt.
Footage then showed the gang speeding off in an Audi following the 33 second slaughter as Max and Mason were left dying on the street.
Mason was knifed once in the back and chest – causing “unsurvivable injuries” – while his best friend was stabbed once in the abdomen.
They tragically died within 15 minutes of each other after being rushed to hospital.
Wescott, who was named by a judge following his murder conviction, and Riley Tolliver, 18, were jailed for life.
A 15-year-old boy was handed a 15-year sentence, while a 16-year-old received an 18 year and 44 day jail term.
Antony Snook, 45, who led a bloodthirsty hunt for the attackers in his flashy Audi through the dark streets of Bristol, was jailed for life with a minimum of 38 years for murder.
