It appears, though as there has been no trial this has not been adjudged so, that the defendant committed murder and so had no right to kill the victim.
Yes, if the murderer were to be killed in punishment, he would have got as good as he gave. As you acknowledge, that's not killing in self-defense, that's killing as vengeance.
