Honeymooners' killers jailed for life

[Jimbuna]

After reading the detils in this article I couldn't help but thik that the death penalty would have been a more fitting sentence.

Two men who murdered a Welsh couple on honeymoon on Antigua have been given three consecutive life sentences but have escaped the death penalty.
Avie Howell and Kaniel Martin shot dead Ben and Catherine Mullany, who were 31 and from Pontardawe, Swansea Valley.
Justice Richard Floyd said the "cold-hearted killers" had acted with "extreme violence" but the murders were not the "worst of the worst".
Martin, 23, and Howell, 20, also shot dead a shopkeeper two weeks later.
The pair now face two more murder charges but Justice Floyd said the crimes they have been found guilty of did not justify the death penalty because they were not the "rarest of the rare or the worst of the worst".
