I don't believe in capital punishment - sparing a murderer's life proves one thing, we have more humanity, compassion and intelligent thought than they!

However, once convicted it should be life for a life in the sense that they should spend the rest of their lives in abject misery being reminded of and being made to atone for what they have done.

That's where your problem is - the justice and penal system is too soft ... they should be transported, like the old days, to break rocks and drink Fosters in Australia!
