The Ward bomb killing occurred on 5 February 1962 when Dunedin lawyer James Patrick Ward was murdered by a parcel bomb sent to his office.
Ward suffered heavy injuries to his chest and right arm, with his left hand being blown off; after several operations at Dunedin hospital, Ward failed to recover from his injuries.
The explosion also destroyed his desk and the exterior facing window of his office.
