Rejected petition Capital punishment for murderers

Reintroduce capital punishment for the crime of murder.

More details

There should be an equality between the life of the murderer and their victim. It is right and proper for the state to fulfil this role. The present situation in the UK where the lives of convicted murderers are protected is an intolerable situation and must be changed immediately.
