RE the letter from Councillor D Pearson 'Murderer should be jailed for life (LET, August 3). British justice certainly has gone mad.

This failed asylum seeker has got exactly what he wanted -- to stay in Britain at the taxpayers expense.

He should be returned to where he came from to serve his jail sentence in full! Life should mean just that.
