SA Superintendent Des Bray said the "significant injuries to his body" were not consistent with that of an accident.
"We're happy that we can establish that Peter was the victim of a murder as opposed to an accident," Bray said.
Hillier was reported missing from NSW on May 25 this year.
His last known location interstate was Lake Haven in NSW.
SA Police established a crime scene at a holiday home on Sandham Street where the body was found.
"The motive for the murder is not clear at this stage," Bray said.
"Nor is the location of the death."
