Rejected petition Death Penalty for all convicted child murderers.

I want the Government to consider reinstating the death penalty and sentence all convicted child murderers to death.

More details

I believe the current sentencing guidelines do not carry a sufficient enough sentence to act as a deterrent to prevent the murders of vulnerable and defenseless children.

Some are sentenced with the possibility that they will be released by the parole board to kill another vulnerable victim.

The only sentence that fits these crimes of this nature is the death penalty and I ask that the U.K Government reinstate it.
