This reminds me of the death penalty. Killing someone because that person killed is still killing someone.
However society choses to do it, it's still killing someone. Because killing is bad so if you kill, someone will kill you. Oh no, it's not a murder. It's a state employee that works in the correction department. Killers are not okay. The executioner is only applying the lethal will of society towards killers by unaliving them. It's not murder, it's justice!
An excuse I've heard is that it is society's way of passing the final judgement to God. Hence the "may God have mercy on your soul" line. Not only does that assume the existence of said judgement and entity to do it, by said deity's clock that judgement doesn't have to be so rushed, it can wait until a natural death. The reason reason is to satisfy the desire of revenge, but even that doesn't work, as killing the killer doesn't bring back anyone.
Death penalty in a modern society is insane. Addressing the problems that lead to such behaviors is the long term fix, not killing who does it.
Ha, look at this guy here, thinking society wants long term fixes.
Clearly not, since we're still at this point. I was hypothesizing an improvement.
There are places in the world that don't have the death penalty...just sayin
