Notorious killer, Graeme William Burton, who was part of a mass-strip search at Auckland Prison in 2016, has been awarded $1000 compensation, Stuff reports. Burton is serving a life sentence with a minimum non-parole period of 26 years. Burton was one of the two prisoners who took a court case against Corrections for conducting a strip search in 2016 without reasonable grounds. The judge found the search unlawful and said the two should receive $1000 compensation each. Corrections this week confirmed the award to Burton, but this move has been made public so victims of any crimes he has been convicted of can make a claim against the money.
