Is it 'life' in prison? Is it the death penalty? Some say bring back hanging.. blah blah blah. When I hear that I think of 10 Rillington place.
Well. What I mean is this. Look to America and the crazies they have there. In some places they have the death penalty and it doesn't stop them from committing the crimes such as this. So does either deterrent work?
Is this really Human Nature? and no matter what cannot be stopped? If so it is a shame.

There is no deterrent.. I doubt that anyone committing murder takes his or her punishment into account when they kill someone..but "we" can lock these people up forever and use that as a punishment.
