SIR - After reading with horror and sadness of children three and five years old being tortured and raped by paedophiles, I think, and most decent people would think as I do, they should be shot.

As there is no deterrent, these men should be locked up for the rest of their natural lives.

There must be no way these men are able to commit these evil acts ever again against defenceless children.
