I apologise for banging the same old drum but Cain was punished not executed by god for his crime. He then rehabilitated himself, moved to the land of Nod, got married and became a law abiding citizen away from the stern glance of his maker.
Leaving that to one side, from an agnostic point of view I would say man has created the crimes and man has created the punishments. If there is a further punishment or reward on the other side remains to be seen.
