Quite right, this country no longer has the death penalty for any crimes of any description.
Although founded within the HRA's, capital punishment is contrary to membership of the European Union. If we bring it back Capital punishment we will have to leave the EU.
In addition it is forbidden for any member state to extradite a person to a country that will use the death penalty on that individual. That is why Abdul Hamsa or whatever his name is (Mr Hook) will never face justice in the USA!!
