I'm with Elanor. I would have given him a thorough roughing up. Maybe enough to cause some severe internal damage, but not enough to kill him outright. I would want him to stew in his own misery, and think long and hard about the damage he's done. I think sometimes being forced to waste away remembering up until you draw your last breath all the evil you've inflicted is a worse punishment than death. And no, I'm not a mother (except to my cat, 2 dogs, and a horse!).
