No. But I am using sudo which should override the permission.

No worries. I figured out the answer. It should be

Code:
sudo rm -r Peter/test9
Thanks,
Peter.

The problem was use of inorrect option. You were trying -R option with rmdir command, which is wrong, but as I has said, you should have used -R with rm command.
Well, use man pages when confused with any commands.
Code:
man <command>
