Although it doesn't bring back their dearest child, the family might come to a certain kind of closure and some satisfaction knowing that at last JUSTICE IS SERVED in their hosting country. RIP Moosa....

This was the only way to send out a strong message to everyone about the punishment for crimes like this. Unfortunately, I feel that the victims family may realise quite soon that this is not enough, and nothing can turn the clock back. There is no win on this. A child suffered and died. The parents are suffering on 2 counts, that they left their young child unattended and that he died. I cannot see that the death of the murderer will bring them a lot of comfort in the long term.

however, I am glad I was not charged with the execution. I understand peoples' views that it was right but I could not have done it. I agree, I feel for the shooters... RIP Moosa, may your family feel some relief. I don’t see this mans execution as punishment and I doubt any shooter could enjoy the act of ending anothers’ life... What I do see this as an essential act of removing a threat from our population. My heart goes out to the victims families (I’m sure there are many more undocumented cases). My heart also goes out to those in the murderers family who did not know of his murderous character. I am personally relieved that this monster is gone.

His crime is ABSOLUTELY HEINOUS. I pray that Moosa rests in peace and that his family get some respite from their nightmare. In terms of the death penalty, however, I am glad I was not charged with the execution. I understand peoples' views that it was right but I could not have done it.

From what I read there was zero confusion as to whether that man committed that heinous act. The world is a better place for that man being dead. Horrific heinous crime, may Moosa rest in peace poor little soul, how his patents suffered and continue to suffer. No words ....

No instead we would rather they sit on death row for the rest of their life so they dont' have to take the responsibility of holding out the sentence that was bestowed upon them. All the while running up 100's of thousands of tax dollars each year per inmate on death row. Yep sounds like a logical solution to me.. :) Not if you were the accused.;)

I so wish the US would do these things this quickly instead of dragging them out for years. Because a full and complete investigation has to be undertaken to allow a fair criminal trial to take place with the accused having the right of a defence and allowing the prosecutor to collect overwhelming evidence to seal the case shut . (double jeopardy laws) The requests of right of appeals, Pretrial motions, continuances , new evidence, plea bargains, etc etc You can't blame a defense attorney for not rushing to get their client exposed to a first degree murder conviction and the death penalty, that's the basis of the law, the right to a defense.

One less monster to worry about. If anybody wants to fight for human rights/value of life in this case, better channel that energy to the rights of "lower castes", girl child were she is not valued, life of the beating human heart that's not born yet, etc. I do agree though he has not got his punishment. Lucky him that there's human rights or he would not get an easy death if anyone had to get near justice even throwning him in to a cave with 1000's of hungry rodents gnawing on him, would still not be justice because his victim was innocent and he is not.

I totally agree with the death sentence in relation to these sort of crimes, especially when children are the victims. It sickens me when I read stories of young children being abused, raped and in some cases murdered (such as what Nifaoilean mentions below). Anyone who conducts these despicable crimes in my eyes deserves nothing less than a capital punishment sentence. Since I've become a mother my belief in this punishment has strengthened, especially when I look at my own children and what I would feel if this had happened to them. My DH is utterly against the death penalty and we've had several debates about the rights and wrongs of capital punishment. In regard to this crime, I hope Moosa's family can now move forward and grieve for their little boy knowing justice has now been done. Rest in peace little one. <em>edited by Zannie on 10/02/2011</em>

I am pleased that the law found and punished this man but still hope that his death was quick. Not as many on death row chart (GN) as i would have thought, but then i suppose that doesn't account for those who have already been executed. <em>edited by MsGeorge on 10/02/2011</em>

It is usually by firing squad out at the army barracks in Al Awir. you know in the states, the victim's family can go and watch, is that the same here or totally closed? I know this is going to sound terrible, and I kind of wish the thought hadnt popped into my head, but there may well be a grim kind of satisfaction for the family if they do get to watch. oh, and thats wrong on so many levels :( Why is it wrong on so many levels? it's justice, is it not? and therein lies my morality dilemma Izzy.
