Police were called on the evening of October 6 after a front window of Peters’ home he shares with partner Jan Trotman was smashed and a note was left on the door.

Before the damage, pro-Palestinian protesters had targeted the residence, gathering in front of the home chanting and writing slogans on the footpath.
