Victim of crime benefitting another apostle (5)

I believe the answer is:

peter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'apostle' is the definition.
(I know that Peter is a apostle)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for peter that I've seen before include "Disciple" , "-- Sellers, comic actor" , "prison cell" , "Safe - name for a man" , "In whist, play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
