I know this seems a bit contrary, but the tragedy of the ending of 3 lives, is only exacerbated by ending the 4th. This person is going to have to learn to live with themselves, and will one day come to the realisation that their own actions brought the premature ending of an entire family.
I actually think thats a greater punishment to have to live with those actions.
The punishment of having the shame of this action hanging over your head for the rest of your life would arguably be much worse than anything else.
The vindictive side of me, would make the perpetrator of this crime write a biography of the people he killed and ensure it is complete, and compiled with as much accuracy as possible. Birth records, marriage records, ultra sound photos of the unborn child, all compiled and placed into a scrap book in memory of those lives he ended.
If this doesnt cause the right level of torture and punishment nothing ever will, and it will ensure that this person doesnt make a similar mistake again (or will drive them mad). Either way, its a Just outcome and one that this person is deserving of.
Of course we should lock this person up so they are no longer able to harm anyone else and are actually punished for their actions, but the torture I outlayed above is well beyond any sort of physical pain you could hope to impart on him.
