Death Penalty in the UK… James Hanratty was one of the last people to be hanged in England – for the murder of a man and the raping and shooting of his lover. Many people think that Hanratty was innocent and so feel that the death sentence can never be justified. The death penalty was finally abolished in England, Scotland and Wales in 1969 and in Northern Ireland in Parliament still debates whether to bring back the death penalty (it has voted four times since 1970)..

The last woman : Ruth Ellis hanged for killing lover “Convicted murderer Ruth Ellis has been hanged at Holloway Prison, London. Ellis was sentenced to death at the Old Bailey for shooting her lover, 25-year- old racing driver David Blakely, outside the Magdala public house in north London on Easter Sunday. Home Secretary Major Lloyd George rejected the final appeals to reprieve the 28-year-old former model and nightclub hostess last night.”

Ruth Ellis. The trial and punishment of Ruth Ellis became notorious as she was the last woman in England to be executed. Ruth Ellis' family campaigned for her murder conviction to be reduced to manslaughter on the grounds of provocation. Through the Criminal Cases Review Commission they brought the case to the Court of Appeal in September They argued Ellis was suffering "battered woman syndrome". She had suffered a miscarriage just 10 days before the killing after David Blakely had punched her in the stomach. But the appeal judges ruled she had been properly convicted of murder according to the law as it stood at the time. The defence of diminished responsibility did not then exist.
