The death penalty may look like the ultimate deterrent to some but as the stats show, it doesn't always work. This has a lot to do with criminals still believing that they can escape detection and therefor they won't have to face the penalty for their crimes. If the detection rate for all crimes were around the 90% mark a lot less people would risk commiting a crime in the first place.

Agreed on both these points. This country would accept people, regardless of their backgrounds; if they commit crimes, there is no chance of them being deported, before or after punishment.
Nothing will ALWAYS work, but for a persistent offender such as this guy the death penalty would ensure he could never harm anyone again. By the sound of it he isn't even safe in prison. But I agree that a lot of criminals know that either detection is ridiculously poor, or "punishment" is so pathetic, that crime really isn't something to shy away from.
