Do an adult crime then serve the adult punishment. Does anyone here believe that if it had anyone other than a migrant it wouldn't have been immediate jail time?
Never mind as some have said, lock up then deport. Why pay tens of thousands to keep them in custody? Round up the entire family and down to Heathrow direct from the court.
Death penalty absolutely DOES have a place in society. It's not about it being a deterrent, it's about punishing the guilty and protecting society by ensuring they can't do it again.
If it deters that's a bonus.

It doesn't deter, years ago we used to hang children for stealing food, it didn't deter them as they didn't think they'd get caught or because they thought the crime was worth the risk.

Unless you can prove 100% in all instances that someone is guilty then it has no place in our society.

The death penalty has no place in a civilised society |

It makes me question if those people don't want to live in a civilised society, to me the very definition of a civilised society is that you aren't put to death if innocent, I'm sure a pardon and an apology is of great comfort to those wrongly killed in the past. You only have to look at America where over 100 people on death row have been exonerated since dna testing became common or how many times more likely you are to be given a death sentence if you're poor or black than if you're white or rich.
