The plaque commemorates Graham Staines and his two sons who were tragically killed in India in 1999.
In January 1999, in a remote hill tribal village in the Indian state of Orissa, Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two young sons, Philip and Timothy, settled to sleep overnight in their station wagon. Soon after midnight, the Staines' vehicle was set upon by an enraged mob. They beat and stabbed the father and his two boys with tridents before lighting a fire beneath their vehicle, incinerating them. Graham Staines devoted his life to leprosy patients in India.
