Justice came Tuesday for the convicted killer of Christina Yuna Lee, who was stabbed more than 40 times to death in her Chinatown apartment two years ago in a murder that shocked the community.
With a sobbing father looking on, a judge in New York today sentenced the man convicted of killing Christina Yuna Lee in her New York apartment in 2022 to 30 years to life in prison.
Christina Yuna Lee’s killer was sentenced to 30 years-to-life in state prison for fatally stabbing the 35-year-old inside her Chinatown apartment in February, prosecutors announced on Tuesday.
“Christina Yuna Lee was killed in an unthinkably horrific manner in her own apartment at the hands of Assamad Nash,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Ms. Yuna Lee was a creative, kind and joyful person and her death not only devastated her family but left a lasting impact on an entire community. I hope the resolution of this case offers comfort and a sense of justice for everyone that has been touched by Ms. Yuna Lee’s life and this tragedy. May her legacy be celebrated for years to come.”
A Manhattan man convicted of waging an intimidation campaign against witnesses with information about his son’s fatal stabbing of a young Bronx basketball star — blasting them online as “snitches and rats” — received a six-month jail term Monday.
