A man who stabbed one of the country's most notorious murderers more than 40 times has been sentenced to preventive detention.

Siuaki Lisiati, himself a convicted murderer, attacked double killer Graeme Burton while the men were doing time in the maximum security prison at Auckland's Paremoremo in May 2018.
