I'm with you on that score Robbie. There are principles that should be adhered to, an eye for an eye and let the penalty fit the crime both come to mind.
These principles are not about revenge as some seem to think, but that the penalty is equal to the crime, if you take someone life like that you should forfeit your own.
Both of the Moors Murders admitted guilt and tried to help the police find some of the bodies, so there was no doubt as to their guilt.
As you say it is easy to stand back and spout forth about the right and wrong way to respond, but I have never had one of my children cruelly snatched away from me.
