New Information About Hawke’s Bay Homicide To Feature On Cold Case
Detective Senior Sergeant James Keene, Hawke’s Bay CIB:
Hawke’s Bay Police investigating the 2018
homicide of Hastings man Eddie
Peters are encouraging
people to watch tomorrow night’s Cold Case tv
episode
when new information will be revealed.
Mr Peters, 45,
was found collapsed and bleeding on the driveway of a
family
member’s home on Diaz Drive, Flaxmere, on the
evening of Thursday 15
November 2018. He had been
violently beaten and died eight days later in
Wellington
Hospital.
“Eddie had spent the afternoon and evening
further along Diaz Drive at the
tangi for an old friend,
a senior member of the Mongrel Mob. He wasn’t a
gang
member himself but went to the tangi to pay his
respects.
“We know that Eddie left there at about
11.30pm. He was attacked by one
or more people further
along Diaz Drive. The reasons as to why this
happened are
not entirely clear, but we need people to speak up and tell
us
what they know and who was involved.
“There
are people who have information, and maybe saw what happened
but are
reluctant to talk with us. This was a serious
assault which led to a
man’s death. Eddie’s whānau
continue to grieve for their loved father
and
friend.
“We’re hoping new details and fresh
information will help us get the
answers they
need.”
