Peter Pettigrew's unidentified victims

Peter Pettigrew's victims were a group of Muggles all killed by Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew witha Blasting Curse on October 31, 1981. It was originally thought that Wormtail was killed in this explosion as well and that Sirius Black was the murderer. However, in 1993, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger proved otherwise. Although this was proved in 1993, the Ministry of Magic didn't believe them, until three years later, on June 17, 1996.
