I would be for this also, IF they are truly guilty and get the same chance to prove innocence or guilt as everyone. However I am not so sure about sending a seven year old to a penal colony.

There is NO deterrent for murders under 14, they KNOW they will not get the death penalty.

I can't see how capital punishment could be considered for a 7 year old either. I just can't imagine it.
I doubt anything other than foster care and counseling will given to him, but it won't be the last we hear of him either.
He is damaged psychologically now,(and probably leading up to this point) and will probably end up committing suicide, or in prison later on in life. At this point, I blame his parents, both of them for creating the little monster. I'm not saying that divorced parents or single parents are all bad either,I know plenty of single parents who are excellent parents, but obviously this particular pair are not.
