In the early hours of October 9th 1994, at Teralba in New South Wales, my brother, Peter Brenden Jones, was shot. The offenders (two) turned off the power to lure him out of the house (his fiancee was left inside alone) and then they shot him twice, once in the shoulder and once in the neck. His fiancee rang for an ambulance and police after hearing the shots. Peter died a number of times; on the driveway, twice in the ambulance and then again at hospital, but was revived by the amazing medics each time. As a result of his injuries, he became a C4 quadriplegic. This all happened five weeks before his wedding. The wedding went ahead on the date, in intensive care, but lasted only a year. Peter lived for 17 years as a quadriplegic. He was unable to remember the events. His fiancee saw nothing. Exhaustive inquires by Lake Macquarie Police found virtually nothing. There was no reason for this attack found. They had just moved house but the previous occupants were found to have no connection so police assumed it wasn't mistaken identity. Peter was a metal fabricator, sport mad, had just bought a puppy, was looking forward to his wedding and his life. There was nothing in his life to explain such a vicious and targeted event. In 2011 Peter succumbed to the effects of quadriplegia and died in hospital. His life was very different to what he and his family had expected. My life and my children's lives were devastated by what happened to him. And still nothing...
Someone must know something. Please, if you know anything, or remember anything, please get in touch with Toronto Police, or me I guess.
