Three escaped prisoners used Machetes to slaughter the 45-year-old resident commissioner in his sleep at his residence in Niue on August 16, 1953. His wife, Jessica, suffered lacerations to her head and arms but later recovered. His children, Telma, 17, and Billie, 9, were unharmed but raised the alarm. He is the only New Zealand diplomat to have been murdered abroad. The case became something of a cause celebre and its memory was revived in 1993 in a book by Auckland historian Dick Scott, Would A Good Man Die? Niue Island, New Zealand and the late Mr Larsen, which alleged Larsen had jailed, beaten and abused hundreds of Niueans. Scott also said New Zealand wanted the three men hanged so Niueans would learn not to challenge Wellington's authority.
