The death penalty was finally abolished by an amendment to the Crimes and Disorder Act 1998. Until then it was technically possible to execute somebody for treason, piracy with violence, mutiny and certain other military crimes.
The death penalty cannot be reinstated in the UK since it is a signatory to the European Council of Human Rights.
The Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act 1965 suspended the death penalty for murder for five years, except in Northern Ireland, and replaced it with mandatory life imprisonment. In 1969, the Act was made permanent.
In Northern Ireland it was abolished by the passing of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1973.
The last death penalty in the UK was handed down in 1973 to William Holden for the murder of a British soldier.

The last Public execution was carried out in 1868. From then on it was carried out in prisons.
