Where in this Verse does it say that apostates cannot be killed, and how did such a meaning come about from this Verse?

It says you can't compel anyone from mankind to believe. Since Muslims are members of mankind, you can't compel them to believe either. A death penalty for an apostate would serve as a compulsion to believe (at least outwardly).
