I CONCUR fully with QT journalist Andrew Korner about tougher laws for child killers - "Tough laws need to be backed up" (Q/T 16/10).

Andrew is echoing what most people have been saying for what seems like an eternity.

The recent case of Tyrell Cobb and Hemi Goodwin-Burke is just the tip of the iceberg of innocent children who have lost their lives through the action of depraved monsters.

Even more frightening in the Q/T in recent days, people are far more concerned with bloody rights for battery hens, (QT 12/10 and 14/10).

What about the rights of those murdered children?

Capital punishment is the only way to stop these crimes perpetrated against the innocent; there have been far too many children taken before their time and it must stop!
