Besides in this specific incidence it would be stupid to kill them because that's what they want. Putting them in prison for life and treating them as common murders, nothing special, would be far greater punishment to them. We don't want to encourage further martyrs either. We will let any others know they won't be treated as a special case, no special status, just murderers like all the other murderers.

However i am willing to bet that they DO NOT get life meaning life. We are to soft because i seem to remember that we have been told we cannot give full life meaning life sentences without parole. They WILL walk on our streets again at some point. Just hope that when they do it is not one of your family they decide they will kill with a big knife.

Personally I believe in an eye for an eye when it comes to the majority or murderers.

I once posted on here that if we cannot string them by there necks then we should put them in a cell and never let them mix with other prisoners, never ever let them out and only feed them what they need to stay alive. I was told by those that fight the corner against the death sentence on this forum that we cannot do tha, there reason was its against there human rights and would be classed as a form of torture. So in other words we must treat them better than the way they treated there victims
