“And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein; and the Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him”
*an-Nisa’ 4;93

The execution can only be carried out by those in authority who are obliged to carry out the qisaas and carry out hadd punishments. The death penalty is not seen as a murder so a muslim executioner can carry it out.
