I'm not sure it would, since I'm reasonably sure that tragedies like this happen in countries with the death penalty regardless.
Does the death penalty really deter this from happening, I don't think so, I think deportation back to their country of origin is the most cost effective way of dealing with this type of situation.
But at the same time that also goes away from Western values of owning up to your actions, and paying the consequences. I would rather these low lifes spend the rest of their lives behind bars, than for them to get a slap on the wrist and deported from Canada to "maybe" face repercussion in their home country.
I will glady pay tax money to make sure at least some form of justice is served in this situation.

the death penalty wouldn't deter this, nor would whipping, or stoning. Its a cultural issue, and you can bet if they had another daughter (I think they had) and she openly defied her parents they'd kill her without even thinking about it.
Jail is going to mean nothing to them, they feel that they lived up to their honor system, in fact I bet they believe that they're being screwed over by a justice system that doesn't take their culture into mind.
So to me Jail isn't going to rehabilitate them. so there's no point. Send em home on the next flight out.
