As long as he never sees the rest of humanity again, I don't care if he goes to prison or a psych facility. But he should never, ever be allowed back into society. Whether we kill him, or nature runs its course in due time, he needs to die in a facility. If you want to prod him and study his mind until he finally passes, so be it. Use the knowledge you gain to treat those who aren't totally bat-shit-crazy, and can be saved.
This is not a person. It's a bag of useless meat with a fucked up brain. There's no bringing a person into "functioning member of society" status after THIS. This was not random, it was not reactionary, it was not opportunistic- meaning he didn't just suddenly bludgeon someone, he didn't get "scared" or "confused" and act out violently, and he didn't have a momentary lapse of "oh there's a girl, I think i'll kill her and rape her corpse". It was planned out, detailed, prepared for, and executed in a precise fashion. The body was maintained post-mortum for the purpose of further use, in a receptacle designed to prevent odor or other indications of a decomposing body from being discovered.
I don't care how fucked up a person's brain is- he indicates the knowledge of right from wrong by storing the body to prevent detection, he lied to police to cover his actions at the checkpoint, and when the police arrived and got to the tub, he admitted to his crime...
It's method, though there's madness in it. Regardless of motivation- whether it's neurological imbalance, or actual desire- he willfully carried out these acts. There is no place in any society for a person such as this.
