Then the life of the executioner must be taken as well. Unless of course, there is an exception granted, in which case the taking of a life isn’t necessarily grounds for execution, so there is no absolute truth to the matter and it is open for interpretation. It is not as simple as you make it sound.

No it's quite silly to talk in absolutes like that. The rule is that it is permitted to take life for justice. No one said that taking any life for any reason means that another life must be forfeit. The Quran is very clear on this: https://quran.com/17/33
