[Ranbay]

My brother lives top of Oakfeild, right on the corner Snipe street, but there moving end of this month.

RIP Peter
Disability Rights Campaigner

In a statement, the Mr Lewis’ sister and brother, Anne Wood and Michael Lewis, said: “Peter was born in a time when special needs were not addressed in the respectful way that we are now used to. He had a brilliant brain and an excellent memory, and went to school in Gabalfa, then Pengam in Cardiff.​

Murder victim was popular disability rights campaigner​

​

“The little talent that Peter had, he used it to the limit; far more than an able bodied person would with all of their talent. Peter always used to say that disability is not inability.​

Really sad and horrid

 

[editor]

Mr Lewis was a member of Cardiff People First, a self advocacy organisation run by people with learning disabilities.

In 2006, the pensioner was pictured alongside Cardiff singer Charlotte Church in a South Wales Echo article as part of a campaign to stop care spending cuts.

In an interview with the Echo, Mr Lewis described how the group had improved his life, saying: “I feel very good about myself now... I have achieved and accomplished so much.”

Fuck's sake. That's terrible. What kind of scumbag murders a 68 yr old pensioner with learning difficulties?
I hope this pondlife cunt is found and banged up pronto.

 

[Ranbay]

the guy was knocking and banging doors until someone came to the door, it seems this guy was the only one who opend the door

 

[editor]

My nephew lives right by there too.

 

[Ranbay]

My brother was out on oakfeild street at 1am trying to find his bird who was pissed up and trying to get back from town.... luckly he found her before this fucker did.,...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

That's dreadful. I really hope they catch the killer quickly, it clearly was motiveless if it was just the first person to open their door, perhaps to offer help to whoever was banging on the door. I find it profoundly depressing.

 

[Ranbay]

Snipe street is close loads of cops there now by the crofts pub... no info as yet

 

[ddraig]

yeah whole pub taped off apparently! "incident at the crofts" reportedly said by plod to mate nearby

 

[Badgers]

BBC saying a 31 year old arrested

 

[ddraig]

hope he is the one!

report of armed police in Constellation St last night too, don't know if related

 

[Ranbay]

10-12 cop cars and vans just went past me outside City Hall.... mostly unmarked with real ones font back light and sounders going off....

 

[Ranbay]

The guy they nicked is a regular in the Crofts... that's why it was surounded last night... lives just on the corner by Cyfartha Store.

 

[ddraig]

hope he is the one!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

He's been charged.

[Ranbay]

He ran down to Newport road and dumped his clothes in the lane...

so it's going to be easy as with the DNA.

Hope the police do a good job with the evidence.

 

[Gavin Bl]

god, there really are some things that try your soul.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Hope the police do a good job with the evidence.

They're hoping to speak to this potential witness (who is not suspected of any involvement in the crime).

killed last April! RIP Peter
senseless bullshit

William Jones guilty of Peter Lewis murder in Claude rd last year
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-21194811

Mr Lewis, who had one eye and had great difficulty moving without the aid of a carer and his walking stick, was confronted by Jones in Claude Road at 02:30 BST on 28 April 2012.
Jones, of Cardiff, fatally stabbed Mr Lewis in the stomach.

A tape recording of an emergency call Mr Lewis made in his dying moments was played to the jury.
"I have been stabbed and I can't get up, somebody attacked me," Mr Lewis was heard saying.
"I am on my own, I am on the floor. He knocked me over. A boy hurt me, I need bandaging up. I am bleeding terribly, can you hurry up."
