I strongly agree with Hula's and Senora's posts.
Learco Chindamo did a terrible, evil thing. I can only imagine that Frances Lawrence is devastated at the prospect of his rights being considered at all, ever, when he robbed her husband of his right to life and needlessly, tragically made her a widow and left their children fatherless. I cannot comprehend what she is going through, contemplating his release. It must be a dreadful, difficult time for the family, who have had enough suffering to last a lifetime already.
However, I don't really understand the wider furore over the decision not to deport Chindamo. If he had been a British national there would have been no question that he would be released into the community here. He has been here since the age of 6 and speaks only English. Britain, not Italy, is the country that arguably contributorily failed him to the extent that he ended up embracing gang culture, murdering an innocent man, devastating that man's family, devastating his own family and spending his entire adult life so far in (British) prisons. He is, in everything but passport, British. If and when he is considered, by a British parole board, to be capable of rehabilitation and no danger to the community, then release in Britain should follow, imo. I would not expect the Lawrence family to be happy about that, having hoped he would be deported, but I think the law is right, despite their understandable and inevitable sadness and anger. Learco Chindamo is Britain's problem, not Italy's. It is up to Britain to try and help Chindamo move on from his horrendous action as a child 11 years ago, which has irrevocably blighted his own life as surely as it killed Philip Lawrence and left his family to deal with an unthinkable and tragic loss.
