Beheading and Human sacrifice to Gods

Beheading and Human Sacrifice in history: Firstly, when is it human sacrifice and when is it merely a form of punishment? 
 
1587 representation of three beheadings as capital punishments decreed by King Henry VIII against Thomas More and two other Roman Catholics in 1535
Beheadings Were Common Across Europe

 
The answer seems to lie in who is relating the story. History is always written by the victors so they say, and that seems to have greatly influenced what we consider human sacrifice or not.
