> the guy who kills a family is also an executioner

Quite literally not... "executioner: an official who effects a sentence of capital punishment on a condemned person". An executioner is someone who is legally allowed to give death as a consequence of a judicial decision, not simply someone who kills.

Words have meaning an homicide isn't a murder, a murder isn't an execution, &c.
