We can all sumise what happened, BUT l feel that if a person can take a life, then they should forfiet there own life.
In other other countries this happens, why can't we.

Because it's a matter of debate if it's an effective deterrent. There is little evidence to suggest that it is. Therefore there is little upside, other than revenge, to outweigh the risk that you may kill an innocent person. Someone killing another person is sick, evil, and tragic. The state killing a (innocent) person in the name of justice manages to be even more so.
That's my opinion anyway. It's not a popular one when contrasted with an awful crime like this one but when we're talking about policy and justice we have to deal with it in an abstracted manor rather than on the back of, and in the context of, an emotional charged crime.
