Rejected petition Bring back the death sentence

We whome sign this petition would like Parliament to consider bringing back the death sentence for evil murderers, especially those monstrous, cowardly killers that target young children.

More details

In cases where there is clear evidence or admission to murder especially of children and the use of DNA, judges should be given the option to hand the death penalty in cases that a judge decides is extreme enough.
These barbaric killers are not civilised people and can not be treated as such, it also comes at a substantial cost to the tax payer to keep such evil in prison when it will serve as no benefit to the public.
