The elderly Joe Kum Yung was murdered on by Lionel Terry on 24 September 1905, in a hate crime. He had arrived in New Zealand in around 1880, and a mining accident had left him unable to continue to work. He was living on the streets, and hoped that his friends would assist him in returning to China. Lionel Terry shot him at 7:45 pm with a revolver, and Joe Kum Yung died around 10:00 pm that night. A plaque on commemorates Joe Kum Yung, and was unveiled in 2005, the 100th anniversary of the killing. == Categories ==
