Headmaster's killer to get new identityBy Tom Harper, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 1:42am BST 26/08/2007

Particularly when her husband wasn't.
May God Bless you Mrs. Lawrence, and help you to one day find some small measure of peace amidst your grief.
Of course, they can't stop someone from exporting the information to someone else outside the U.K., who would then post the information on the Internet. Just a thought. Sending him back to Italy sounds like a pretty good idea.
I would hate to inflict this trash upon the Italian people either. Apparently he's still regarded as quite dangerous.. From the article:

It seems that this scum's 'right to a family life' outweighs the British public's right to safety.
I don’t get it - why is this guy deserving of the guvmint’s protection? Are they afraid he might be in danger from society at large?
Tough beans - maybe you should have thought of that before you killed somebody.
Good Gawd! I’m so glad most states here have capital punishment. The idea that this piece of poop would be walking around, strolling through parks, shopping in markets....no one in Britain is safe.
From the article:
".....the Government decided that the risk of the individuals being attacked by members of the public meant that they required new identities."
Tough beans - maybe you should have thought of that before you killed somebody.
Perhaps the foreknowledge of how he would likely be treated made making the decision to murder a bit easier for him.
The good, decent people of Great Britain are in my prayers.
I truly love the way some nitwit was concerned about this subhuman’s right to a “family life”, totally discounting Mr. AND Mrs. Lawrence’s right to a “family life”. How very, very sad. God Bless, Mrs. Lawrence, just bless your heart.
This kind of story ought to make anyone (or, anyone with half a brain) go to work in favor of not only keeping the death penalty, but expanding its use, and using it more consistently.
I recently traveled to Great Britain and Ireland, and had an absolutely splendid time. Wonderful, friendly people, the weight of history and permanence in so many places. Please don't be frightened, just take normal precautions.

Agreed, and I think that Mrs. Lawrence will one day feel the benefit of your prayers.
I certainly would like to know what kind of bird that is behid that woman and what it is doing there.
The problem is that kid was 15 when he killed the guy. Even the US doesn’t give the death penalty to juveniles.
An apology for a killer.
Pierrepont and a few feet of rope would certainly have been cheaper!
The man only served 12 years of a life sentence? Pathetic. There must be a little island in the North Sea these types can be dumped on. Give them a fishing pole and a wind breaker (that’s mercy).
And it would also have sent an extremely effective and meaningful message to all criminals and criminal-wannabees that innocent human life is held in the highest value, so much so that ending the life of a wanton murderer is easily justified and is appropriate punishment for the most heinous of crimes.
I believe that you have failed to notice something in this article. In the US the Witness Protection Program is reserved for WITNESSES!! Nothing in this article even hints that this kid testified against anyone. This program appears to be a Guilty Murderers Protection Program. I do not think that we have anything like this here,
if the words “life in prison” meant what they do over hear on this side of the pond (U.S.), you wouldn’t be having this discussion; at least now. Even with the possibility of parole, it would still be decades more before this criminal was eligible for it.
And he would receive exactly zero consideration for witness protection or “the possibility of a family life.”
Sheesh.

Point taken. It seems that the definition of "witness protection" has been altered (corrupted?) in order to achieve......what? Not any definition of justice or protection of the public that I am familiar with.
