I'm not sure I really understand this. During an attempted murder the perpetrator is trying to kill the victim. I don't think there being a lower sentence for attempted murder causes them to try less at their goal of murder during the act. I would imagine that when one person murders another it is something they give 100% effort to.
I think those sentences highlight what I am saying, the man that stabbed that girl in the brain should have been charged as if he had killed the girl.
On the kidnapping I think perhaps that may be too harsh though I don't know the details, if someone goes to commit a terrible crime but the better part of their nature causes them to shy away from it then they can probably be rehabilitated.
IIN I think attempted murder should be punished the same as murder?
