is there a death sentance in isle of man?

Answer 1

In addition to to previous Answers ... No, the Isle of Man no longer has the death penalty. It was abolished in 1993.

Prior to that, however, the Isle of Man retained the death penalty on its statute books long after the rest of the UK abolished it after a free vote in the House of Commons in December 1969. (note Northern Ireland retained it on the books until 1973)

However, no person between that date and 1993 was actually executed, despite being sentenced to death. A murderer would be convicted of a capital offence, and inevitably be sentenced to death. The murderer would then apply to the Home Office for commutation, which would inevitably be granted.

The last executions in the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands took place in 1964.

Answer 2

Actually, yes there is. However, this has not been used since 1938, and the Royal Prerogative is in place (meaning the Queen can overrule the court). This Prerogative is ceded to the Home Secretary - all of whom in recent time have said they would use it if the Isle of Man ever passed a capital sentence.
