One could actually argue that Peek's fate is worse because of the fact that we viewers have no idea what exactly happened to him; at least Victor was (maybe) put out of his misery once the police found him. Your imagination fills in the blanks with Peek, and it is not pretty.
Either way, Victor and Peek are both great examples of a villain having no real redeeming qualities, while at the same time receiving a fate so objectively horrifying that you can't help but feel sorry for them. At least in my opinion. I used to think otherwise, but now as an adult...
