Eddie Peters

victim

Eddie Peters was a Hawke's Bay father whose tragic death in November 2018 sparked a prolonged cold-case investigation by local police. After being brutally attacked and left for dead outside a residence, he succumbed to his injuries a week later in a Wellington hospital. His case remained unsolved for years, drawing the attention of both law enforcement and the community, who rallied for justice. Recently, the investigation yielded a breakthrough with a murder charge against an individual believed to be responsible for his death, bringing some measure of closure to his family and friends.
