Rejected petition Re-instate the death penalty for unlawful murder in the UK

More details

Consideration to Paralment to re-instate the death penalty where an unlawful murder judgement is passed beyond any reasonable doubt.

This is in consideration to the recent killing of PC's Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone in Greater Manchester while in the line of duty.

A line needs to drawn in the sand on crimes such as this not only to protect the public and it's public servants but to send a clear and direct intent to the minority in this country that this will not and will never be tolerated and will be punishable by death.
