The family of Peter Craven, who is believed to have been murdered in Grimsby, have released a heartfelt tribute to his life.

Peter’s family have now released a joint statement to pay tribute to his life.

It reads: “Peter was a funny, independent and popular man who enjoyed his jokes and pranks.

“He was known to many of his mod mates as ‘Mooncat’ which he is still remembered by today.

“He became a DJ in pubs and clubs. He was well known as ‘DJ Elite’ and his favourite place to play was at Bowlers in Manchester.

“As a family we are devastated that he has been taken from us before his time, and we hope that those who are responsible for taking his life will be brought to justice.

“We would also like to thanks Humberside Police for supporting our family through this difficult time.”

As part of the investigation, three men have been arrested as part of Humberside Police’s investigations.
