Or maybe its been made because he has shown no remorse for the crime.

Someone died. End of story. It wasn't a romantic robin hood type caper. It was a vicious robbery and someone died as a result. No different to someone walking into a bank with a sawn-off and a customer gets shot.

I haven't seen the child murderers getting a slap on the wrist. Perhaps you can provide some examples? Sentencing is IMO a bit light for some crimes and even lighter when you consider they will serve about half what they should.
Remember he was convicted and sentenced to 30 years inside. He done 15 months then legged it and only returned when his money ran out. He's now done about 1/3rd of his sentence.
Do you agree that all prisoners should get out at the 1/3 point of their sentence or do you think there should be conditions attached.

Well at least you got that bit right.
Personally I think he should have been given parole because he quite clearly isn't a danger to anyone any longer but can understand why he has been refused parole.
