It emerged during his trial at Newport Crown Court that Peters was an aspiring musician who went by the name of Sax Coke. Some of his songs posted to YouTube glorify the criminal life and drug dealing.
The jury heard Peters, who used his rap name Sax Coke, has a young daughter. Picture: Wales News Service In one video, he stood outside Cardiff Prison boasting of spending 10 years behind bars and saying f HMP . He rapped: I ve been sat in jail putting pen to paper, 10 years was long but my mind stayed strong. I was stuck on them wings with those killers and lifers but I made it through fam. I m a born survivor.
Peters has admitted that charge. At Newport Crown Court, Mr Harrington, in his closing speech, said: “Some unkind words have been said about Mr Peters. “He has been described as an enforcer, a professional, and that he was recruited to the robbery.” He told the jury: “Do justice to this case. You have to place at least the possibility that Dave Allen was in some way involved. “Because if he was, that lends support to Euan Peters’ case. Mr Harrington added: “We ask you give him a fair trial. “We go so far as to say you should find him not guilty of murder.”
