Mr Peck was friends with David Hastings, 48, who was killed when he was stabbed by Rolands Heinbergs near to Norwich's Rose Lane car park in the early hours of June 23 last year.

Heinbergs, 23, of no fixed address, was jailed for 28 years after a jury convicted him of murder following a trial at Norwich Crown Court in June this year.
