As to the question regarding the soul of a murderer,
and what his punishment would be. The answer given was
that the murderer must expiate his crime: that is, if they put
the murderer to death, his death is his atonement for his
crime, and following the death, God in His justice will
impose no second penalty upon him, for divine justice
would not allow this.
