Man is guilty of teenager Hannah Foster’s Murder
SPEAKERS CORNER
Pal Singh Kolhi was convicted of Hannah’s murder, rape and kidnap. Five years ago he kidnapped the girl after she went a night out to celebrate her perfect A-level exams. In his mini-van he raped her several times and then killed her. He fled to India quickly after that so the police would not get hold of him. Hannah’s parents were since then trying to get him back to Britain so he could stand trial for the murder. Last week they succeeded and Kolhi was sentenced to 24 years in jail. He is leaving a woman and two sons behind.
When I read stuff like this I immediately feel sorry for the family of Hannah. While reading the article I also noticed that the girl had a dream to become a doctor. She had her future all laid out and therefore did the best she could at school. The killer ‘only’ got 24 years in jail, her family on the other hand has life sentence of guilt and the pain of missing Hannah. While thinking about the prison sentences that are being given these days I wonder if it would be a good thing to put death penalty back. I would like to hear what you are all thinking about it….

This is a horrible situation, but I do not think that the death penalty is the solution to this. I find that this man should suffer and giving him the dealth penalty would give him a quick way out. The prison sentences in general could be wrong, but I would like to talk to you about that.
Bye Sanne
