You may be of the opinion that it should be murder but that's not really relevant

If the woman had a serious mental illness it will almost certainly be manslaughter

If she was released early when unwell then that is the systems fault as psychiatric units and community mental health teams have been releasing unwell patients for years to free up beds and doctors and nurses as they are the least funded of all NHS services , ironic given mental illness is as common as cancer , which gets loads of funding , heart disease , ditto

If she was released early then anyone who discharged her will present their reasons for doing so and if the authorities think criminal negligence occurred they may be charged but it wont be for murder , it will be for something around assisted manslaughter or something like that

You may not think that's right but that is the way it is
What would your opinion be if an armed response unit had shot her dead? As they have done on numerous occasions lately in the UK when other mentally disturbed folk have gone on a rampage?
