Not really a problem. If that was the state of play, he killed people so let him die. Not necessarily against the DP, just I don't see that it serves any real purpose other than revenge. Certainly doesn't dissuade people from murdering. Look at how it was back in only Victorian times, when almost everything from stealing bread to murder was a hanging offence; didn't stop anyone.
My point is, in the current climate with no DP, imprison him, fine. But why are such incredibly unique and draconian measures believed necessary for a guy who, when it comes down to it, surely is no worse than any other murderer they have there? What makes him worthy of this almost hysteric reaction by the authorities?
