I'd argue that in this case -- if the dead suspect was given the death penalty on his 30th conviction, there would have been at least 30 fewer victims from his subsequent 29+1 criminal offence.
At that point, it isn't a matter of whether it is a deterrent for the potential lawbreaker anymore. It's a measure to protect the rest of society so that we wouldn't be endangered by this repeated offender.
