The Limitations of the Law(ok, I am not talking about the limitations of the law diploma...although it sure has!!)

I have been keeping up with the recent murder case of the supervisor who committed a gruesome murder of cutting up the parts of his female China employer and disposing it everywhere. Her relatives were so distraught to even come down to Singapore to perform the funeral that some guy who has been performing funeral rites for people who die without any next of kin volunteered to perform the rites for her and sent her off. He even decided to make a pair of fake feet for her as they have been still not found by the police.

By the way, the murderer happens to be my aunt's supervisor as well and she is quite disturbed by the incident. Well back to the topic, so I was thinking, even if this guy decides to plead guilty, admit his mistake and mention his reasons for murdering her, according to the law, he will be hanged. After he is sentenced, he stays a while in the jail, gets some good edible food and one fateful morning wakes up, dresses up, walks a long way to 'THE PLACE', probably shows a big grin, covers his face with a black cloth and before he knows it...he will be pushed and woo! dead...

That's all. For all that the victim has suffered the murderer suffers not even 1% of it. Why can't the law have stiffer punishment for such criminals? How about having some leeches to suck his blood to death? Or whipping him till his skin peels and he starts bleeding to death? How about burying him alive with ice? Or providing him with the same service...cutting him into pieces?

Don't you think the Law holds too much of limitations to such gruesome murderers? Maybe the law should be harsher to such criminals. But then again, the criminal still gets to die... the process may not matter. But doesnt he have to also feel what the victim went through?

I always wonder, what it takes for people like these to perform such eeky murders...cutting up especially. Don't their hearts feel any sense of fear or guilt while doing it? Is anger and the urge of revenge so powerful? Does suspicion acts as a catalyst to murders? Where do they get such courage to cut up body parts?

I really felt for the woman who was murdered. She was young, probably filled with dreams and an urge to conquer them, find her perfect love and live through happiness... Only to get murdered by her supervisor and if they were in love, only to get murdered by her love...gosh. And what the hell were her family and relatives thinking when they didnt want to come here to see her off and perform the last rituals?!?

I think there should be other forms of capital punishment in Singapore, to teach the criminal a lesson and to also scare potential murderers away... The Law could be harsher than just hanging the person right?

Although the law may have its limitations, God has His ways to punishing notti people like that... ;-) But I still feel so much for that poor woman...scho poor thing...
