On the contrary, if there was any suspicion of a mental health issue it would have been thoroughly investigated and if necessary, taken into account at the relevant point (whether that be while assessing culpability, or in sentencing).

And, as the UK has the advantage of not killing people who are convicted of crimes, if for some reason the possibility of mental health issues only came to light after a conviction, there's always the possibility of an appeal in order to clear things up. An avenue not available to this man or any of the others sent to their deaths by oppressive regimes like China and Texas.
