It is being reported that Frances Lawrence (widow of Headteacher Phillip Lawrence, who was stabbed to death by Learco Chindamo in 1995) has been threatened by two men who told her "not to talk about Learco again to anyone - or people might get angry".
Her home was later burgled, though the thieves only stole things relating to the murder, documents and letters.
What I am at an absolute loss to comprehend, is how this young man will shortley be released after having been assessed as a 'low' threat of reoffending. He still has people willing to go through this on his behalf; to threaten the widow of the man he killed, yet he is a 'low risk'.
When they wanted to deport Learco, I was on the side that said we had accepted him as one of our citizens (he was here for nine years previous to the murder) so we would have to deal with him.
But after reading this I just don't know; and my instinct is at first to protect the victim (the widow) and then worry about Learco.
Just wondered what others think?

After over 10 years in prison, unless you're a crime lord it's unlikely people will go round and make threats without being persuaded to first.
They know he's responsible, we know he's responsible, but without evidence they will just release him.
Surely it's up to them? They don't *have* to let him go?
