And if he goes out and kills someone on day release?. The law should be there to protect normal people, not worry about the welfare of dangerous ones.

I'm not worried about the welfare of dangerous prisoners, those who remain a danger shouldn't get out so I don't see what the relevance is. I don't even advocate releasing life sentence prisoners easily let alone automatically. My problem is refusing to release any because one may kill someone. Life licence isn't and shouldn't be guaranteed to any prisoner. Unaccompanied Temporary Release or Day release as you put it isn't even guaranteed to any prisoner. It's a very lengthy process it comes after considerable risk reduction work in prison, after multiple experts from a wide variety of disciplines look at your case after accompanied temporary release and after prisoners have demonstrated their risk is manageable. Mistakes will happen and people will abscond but the alternative is no better.

Back to my original question - why is he still on the run 33 years after the offence when ordinarily he'd probably have been released after about 16-20 years.

He wouldn't have ordinarily been released. Unless he was a terrorist prisoner he would have to satisfy the life sentence review commissioners or now Parole Commissioners that he met the test for release. Even then if he secured release he'd remain on life licence and subject to recall should his risk of serious harm become unmanageable. So I imagine he's either neither satisfied the Commissioners or he's previously been recalled.

Most life sentence prisoners spend considerably longer than their tariff in custody

Not sure if this was already posted up here already.   Ignacio Quereda was the Spanish Women's football coach for 27 years and after he stepped down Spain's female football players accused former national team of abuse and homophobia in a documentary, 'Breaking the Silence'.

When he was at it carry on in public viewing what was he at behind the scenes?

Unfortunately for Rubiales, he is the sexist sleazebag who is the straw that broke the camel's back. His statements and behaviour in the aftermath, along with the other revelations, compound that he is fully deserving of all that is coming his way.
