Back in the good old days

Often when a man is caught and charged with murder, especially of a child or really innocent type person and the murder was particularly cruel, someone will comment that they would love the chance to punish the killer.

Well, in the good old days in Germany, the law did it that way. Here is what happened:

When caught, the law's retribution for the evil trio was almost as barbaric as their crimes. Stump's body was tied to a cartwheel and the flesh was pulled from his bones with red hot pincers. Still alive, his arms and legs were then broken with a wooden hatchet and he was beheaded. His headless corpse was then burned alongside his mistress and daughter.
