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.

But by sending them home, to a country that likely will not take any action, does that not simply let them off the hook for commiting murder?
Regardless of whether or not they think the Canadian justice system is screwing them by not recognizing their beliefs, shouldn't they (as landed immigrants) be held accountable in some form, even if they don't think it just?
I think the worse crime would be for them to not face any type of punishment.
