Peters was held guilty of murdering and dismembering the bodies of two of his ex boy friends. Trigger Warning: This story has details of a violent murder, which might be distressing to some readers. For 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For Australia-wide LGBTQI peer support call QLife on 1800 184 527 or webchat.The judge agreed to the state’s request to subject Peters to an interim detention order of 28 days and committed him to a correctional home for that period. “Safety and protection of the community is the paramount consideration (under the law),” said the judge. The court said that it was “satisfied that the risk (Peters) presents of committing a serious violent offence is unacceptable in that the seriousness of the potential harm is high given his proven capacity for extreme violence”.The state had applied for a continuing detention order of one year for Peters, whose 21-year-prison term expires in September 2022, followed by a five year extended supervision order. Peters had stabbed his boyfriend of four years Akai in the neck before cutting up his body at their apartment in Northcott in Surry Hills, Sydney around January or February 2001.
