Summary: Detective Sergeant Edmond Tong was born in Wales and known as The Chinaman, in reference to his black hair and Chinese sounding name.

On March 6 1952, Detective Sergeant Tong and his partner, Sergeant Roy Perry stopped a vehicle containing 2 men. These 2 men formed part of a group of bank robbers known as the Boyd Gang (named after their leader).

As Detective Sergeant Tong approached the vehicle, one of the suspects drew a .455 pistol and shot Detective Sergeant Tong and shot at Sergeant Perry in the police car wounding him in the arm.

Detective Sergeant Tong died of his wounds on 23 March 1952. Both suspects were arrested in Montreal after a shootout with police that left both men wounded. Both men were convicted and sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Detective Sergeant Tong.

They were executed in the Toronto Jail on December 16, 1952.

Detective Sergeant Tong is buried in Pine Hills Cemetery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
