One police officer called it a hell of a weekend' as separate incidents in the same road within
90 minutes of each other left two people dead.

Jason Lee Craig Peers, 38, a plasterer from Vanguard Road, Bournemouth, died at 6pm in Royal
Bournemouth Hospital after being hurt outside the Dolphin Hotel in Holdenhurst Road early on Sunday
morning.

A 29-year-old Bournemouth man, Jeremy Mark Warren, was last night charged with manslaughter and was
due to appear before Bournemouth magistrates today.

I did not know him but wanted to do this site. To highlight the sad lose of yet another person
murdered in Bournemouth, as last year Steve Galsworthy landlord of a pub on the Holdenhurst road was
also murdered and the same day that Jason was killed another young lad called Nathan Ridler was
killed within two hours of Jason on the same stretch of road.

Killing is latest in family’s tragedies
By Julie Magee

Jason Peers' violent death at the weekend is just the latest heartache his friends and
relatives have struggled to make sense of.

At the age of 18, football fan Jason from Vanguard Road, Bournemouth, lost his leg after being
knocked off his bike by a car in December 1988.

He lost his plasterer's job and the chance to play football or box; the other sport he had
excelled at.

Surgeons fitted 10 steel pins in Jason's crushed shin and later he had his leg amputated from
the knee down. An artificial limb was fitted and intensive physiotherapy followed.

His friends rallied round to ensure 1990 was a happier year for Jason by staging a New Year's
Day charity football match.

In June 2000, Jason was devastated when his brother, 35-year-old Mark, was killed in a hit and run
crash as they left the Glasshouse pub in Wimborne Road, Winton, with friends.

The driver involved was fined £300 and ordered to carry out 240 hours community service.


DEVASTATING BLOW: Jason's brother Mark was killed in 2000
Mark and Jason's mother Pat Peers told the Daily Echo at the time: "Mark's death has
torn our family apart and all he has got to do is a bit of community service."

A year later she said she still couldn't bear to walk past the pub where her son had spent his
last hours.

"I still look at the clock on Friday nights when he used to get ready and go out. But he's
not there anymore. They say time's a great healer but it is going to take a long time to get
over this."

Around 400 people attended Mark's funeral service.

Now the Peers family is struggling to come to terms with 38-year-old Jason's death.

An ambulance crew was called at 12.31 am on Sunday after Jason suffered a head injury outside the
Dolphin public house in Holdenhurst Road, Bournemouth.

He was taken to the Royal Bournemouth hospital and died at 6.05pm the same day.

One of Jason's neighbours Margaret Harris said: "He was nice and always polite; it's
come as a shock."

Former school friend Helen John, who last saw Jason on Saturday afternoon, said: "His mum is
going to be devastated at losing her second son. He was such a lovely guy."

A family friend who didn't want to be named said: "Losing one son in such tragic
circumstances is terrible for any parent, but losing two is unbearable. His mother will be
devastated."

A 29-year-old Bournemouth man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with Jason's
death. Anyone with information should call police on 01202 222222 or the free and anonymous
