Cheapest would be an immediate execution, but things like this can backfire badly. Maybe not in this case, but generally spoken.

I think letting him rot in a miserable prison cell would be a good thing. Why end his suffering with a needle? Let him rot...
Why cruelty when determination is sufficient. Immediate execution or life in prison - and let him work there to come up for the costs for his clothes, food, heating, guards' wages, etc. It indeed is not to be understood why society is expected to pay for criminals, or terrorists like this. Prisoner wants light in his cell? Let him work for the power bill. A TV? He has to pay.
