THE NSW parole board will consider freeing the man who shot dead Sydney woman Toula Soravia in front her teenage son during a 1994 holdup.
Ms Soravia was on her way to bank the day's takings from a Summer Hill service station on April 26, 1994, when she was shot dead in front of her son Alex during an attempted robbery.
David John Patrick Zammit was jailed for 18 years for her murder in 1997.
His minimum prison term ends soon and he could become eligible for parole in July.
A private hearing on his eligibility will be held before the NSW Parole Authority board on Friday.
Ms Soravia's husband, Louie Soravia, fears the board will allow Zammit to walk out of jail within a few months.
AAP understands that in a submission to the parole board, Mr Soravia says Zammit should not be released because of the cruel and "heinous premeditated nature of his offence".
He said there were many unresolved traumatic and continuing issues involving members of the family, including his son, who was 17 when the shooting happened.
Mr Soravia said his wife's killer had not shown any remorse for the "cold-blooded murder of our mother and wife" and had never apologised.
Zammit pleaded not guilty at the trial.
