1997: the murder of rising sports star Jason Burton

November 10 2002
Sydney Morning Herald
The knife which pierced the young water skier's heart was thrust at him with such ferocity ... that the impact fractured his ribs ... outside the General Bourke Hotel at Parramatta ... was apparently sparked by a meaningless dispute at the bar...

Jason Burton had been on the verge of winning a world championship in 1993 but was injured, Mr Burton said afterwards.
Emad Sleiman, convicted of Jason Burton's murder, is also in Lithgow prison.
