I don't know what's wrong with "Shikeishikkonin" but it seems to be
appropriate.
A kind of too solid feeling?
If so, how about...
Shokeinin
Kubikiri Yakunin
...but the word "slayer" is not always 'Executioner,' I think. "kill"
in English is that
meaning as well. In that case:
Koroshi-ya
Satsugaisha
and so on...
