anyone possibly disagree with this? They showed no remorse during the hearing, laughed after being sentenced and swore at the press. Anyone who can murder a young boy is sick, but they went beyond this and it took 3 of them. Anyone who kills an inncent person for no reason except for the colour of their skin should be shown no mercy and hung in front of any other foreign person in this country who feels like doing the same, an example must be made!

Taking on board what everyone has said, I am most certainly sticking to my guns and they should most definetly be hung in public view, and along side them the parents who brought these men here and brought them up the wrong way. The only pleasure I have in this case is that an insider within the prison community has leaked to the press that the largest drug bounty in history has been placed on these ar.seholes heads and they will soon be suffering the same severe pain and terror that they inflicted on the poor victim.

Absouletly. In UK we have to many liberals keen to protect the rights of criminals but the victim is sadly lost in the process. If rehabilitation can be acheived in the criminal justice system that's great but it is primarily but punishment and the punishment should reflect the crime. I am not a fan of habging but we should use lethal injection in cases like this.

You don't know the half of it! So many more horrendous killings take place in Britain, we just never hear about them because of lack of media coverage (some of this enforced). It was right that the men received life sentences particularly for their lack of remorse.
No time soon will Britain bring back capital punishment and it'd be wrong to decide that some murders are more worthy than others- killing any innocent person is a heinous act! If we began hanging people based on the severity of their crime we'd be at it forever. Also remember it's not just foreigners who commit racist murders so your argument is slightly flawed. The men responsible for that poor boy's death were British born and bred regardless of their Pakistani background and making an example of people won't work. Having the evil within you to kill is not down to your cultural heritage but your upbringing, life experiences and ultimately sick splintered mind- seeing someone else murdered isn't exactly going to quell these people's own desire to commit the same act, if anything they'd thrive on it.

I agree that the crime being referred to is utterly deplorable. However, with a law against murder the state (quite rightly) is saying that killing is wrong. What therefore makes the execution of criminals right? Further, people are wrongly convicted from time-to-time and appeals can take years. Look at cases in the UK where people's convictions have been overturned after they had already been executed. We as a society should NEVER take away anything that we cannot give back.

I agree an eye for an eye but, our country works differently! I believe that the same should be done to them but, our wonderful government does not agree. We really cant do much but, wish for peace for that young boy and our society needs to change! A person is a person no matter the color of there skin, shape of there eyes, or how big or small they are. That is how things can change! Keep your beliefs but, they are your and not everyone will agree with you.

all thou we all see what you are saying... this question can be seen as racist. Any one who commits a crime like this should be hung in front of all of us. not just the race they came from. I do agree this was a sick thing that happened. But we all cant give other foreign people the same label. These we very sick people and instead of going to prison they need to put them in a room with the boys parents do what they want to them.... at least they will get real justice. I hope this hasn't offended anyone

honor ,tribal and race killings is as most would agree is not what we voted for in Britain the majority rules or at least should.
If certain people from all walks of life say its their way of life then you should be judged by that law....
If you gave them the choice to choose between british law or the
harsher laws of certain countries to be judged by when they kill someone..Im sure they would choose British ,tut tut we would say shaking our heads,why didnt you follow the law of britain in the 1st place.tough cheese with pickle.(If only)
But trully its a feel good to be bad and is trendy to be a hard like in those Gansta and yobo movies and music we get bombarded with or false fights for freedom not giving a shite about simple folk in the process,
little do they know there are much tougher yet law abiding citizens .Macho is wacko

Wow! Yep,
especially for killing kids
He killed these kids 'cuz of their skin color?
SHAME!
I do know some people who have very strong convictions about the value of 'LIFE'
Since LIFE is a gift from the CREATOR, all LIFE is good, and killing, even the guilty, is destroying the CREATORS GIFT
I don't necessarily agree
I don't see capital punishment as an example, or deterrent, or cost savings to the tax payer (although the disposal of such people is appealing)
Its justice
maybe imperfect, like many of Man's creation, but its is justice

I don't care what color the boy was or his nationality he was a human being. It makes me sick to hear things like this. I really would like to see people who do this sort of thing be put to death in the same manner they killed. Maybe the message would get out there!

You can't hang these men, if you did that then they can't get parole in 8 years from now, put them in prison so they can play snooker, and watch TV and play football.
They need tender loving care, and if they need money, they can sue the government for not letting them take heroine.
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!

yes i agree, we should string them up in the Centre of London for all to see, either live, on the news, on the Internet, or on Video....
Unfortunately, they only got life, so they'll go to prison, get educated with tax payers money, be looked after and given drugs if they ask nicely (if not they will sue when they get out) and finally, they will be back out on the streets... yours and mine.... in 7 years looking for our white kids again..
Great Britain.......... doesn't look so Great after all does it?
it sickens me
