"the guy deserved it" should never be justification for a state to kill someone. Even if you think capital punishment is justified, it should only be after a fair trial. And, if someone has a capital punishment sentence against them, that's only valid within their own borders.

If you violate a country's monopoly of the use of force within their own borders, that's a step on the path to war.
