The family of a single mum battered to death with a claw hammer after her evil killer hid under her daughter's bed is begging for the murderer to be kept behind bars.
Perth mother-of-two Deborah Boyd was beaten to death in a pre-planned attack by ex-boyfriend Wayne Valenta in July 2000, six months after meeting him.
He pled guilty to the savage killing and was sentenced to life in jail, but 21 years later, he is about to be released into a re-socialisation program to prepare him for parole.
Now Deborah's terrified daughter Melissa Whitten fears he will kill again as he attacked three others before killing her mother.
'Valenta's decision to murder my mother wasn't made on the spur of the moment,' Ms Whitten said. 'He was cold and calculated.
'Now I’m scared for every woman in Australia.'

'He planned the entire crime meticulously, and he also planned to get away with it. He wore gloves and disposed of the hammer and bloodied clothing.'
'This is not about me. It's not about my family either. Sure, I worry for my safety. I really worry my grandmother's safety.
'But who I am really scared for is the next woman who Valenta has a relationship with, just like my mum.'
Valenta, now 53, sneaked into the Boyds' home and hid for three hours under teenage Melissa's bed while he waited for Deborah, 38, to come down for breakfast.
When she appeared, he leaped out and beat her to death with the claw hammer.

Melissa, 36, revealed: 'In a confession Valenta made to one of his family (who worked with police to secretly record him), he said: "That's when I donged her.
'"Bang. Bang. Bang. And she fell, and when she hit the ground, I went bang, bang for good measure".'
Three days before the attack, Valenta bragged to a workmate: 'How does it feel to know you are going to know a murderer?'
He showed the workmate the claw hammer and added: 'How many times do you reckon it would take to kill her if I smashed her in the head with it?'
Ms Whitten has now started a petition to demand Western Australian Attorney General John Quigley block Valenta's release before he murderers someone else.
'I have not been provided with any proof that Valenta is no longer a risk to women, and that there is no longer a risk of doing what he did to my mother again,' she said.
'We need to make sure the attorney general understands if Valenta is released, he will be accountable if any woman in our community is hurt.'
