SIR - After reading the article from Paul Beshenivsky calling for the death penalty for killers of police officers (T&A, January 3), I would like to ask, why only police officers?
The death penalty should be reinstated for all murderers.
My brother was kicked to death nearly four years ago in his own home by two scum bags who are now living a life of luxury in prison at mine and other taxpayers' expense.
So Mr Beshenivsky, your wife's death was very tragic and I have much sympathy for you, but so was my brother's and everyone else who are murdered for nothing every day.
Mrs C Maguire, Westminster Gardens, Bradford
