Let's say I killed 100 people in cold blood and on my day of execution I ask Jesus to be my personal saviour. Will I then go to Heaven? It's a shame some of my victims are probably in Hell right now. Oh well, them's the breaks!
(dislaimer: I've never killed anyone, so relax.)

Jesus forgives ALL sins. The only exception is to blasphmey the Holy Spirit and say there is no God. It is a matter of the heart that God looks at. If one is repentent then they are forgiven.

Yes. Jesus will forgive the killer if the killer is truly sorry. However, you are getting forgiveness mixed up with justice. Just because there is forgiveness, does not mean the killer goes to heaven. There is a debt that must be paid. I believe there is still a possiblity they can reach heaven after that. But, of course, no one truly knows how all that works unless you've been there. We can only speculate. There are always consequences to our actions...either paid while alive or paid after. Either way, Love always wins.

All Jesus asks is for us to make Him our Lord and Savior if someone does this even on their day of execution and you mean it than by His word you will be saved.
God told us that he loved us all even when we were sinners. His only requirement is to have Jesus Christ His Son to be our Lord. We are all sinners and cannot possibly live up to God's law that is why He gave us Jesus as Lord and only requires us to make Him Lord, and mean it...if you just say it and not mean it you are worse off. Remember EVERY knee will bow before God someday...only those who have Jesus as Lord will be forgiven...Jesus is NOT a task master....He is not there to zap you if you do something wrong even after you choose Him...."Christians" have said that many things are wrong and a sin that are not. This is what has made so many fearful of God and Jesus. Learn the truth and forget what most "Christians" parrot and don't know.

No you will NOT be forgiven.
You haven't repented. However, if you are truly repentant and trust in Jesus, you will be forgiven.
A Christian who is a true Christian and has repented and put all trust in Jesus to save them can not be "unforgiven" for anything. Our sins are ALL 100% paid for already by Jesus Christ.
It is the very nature of a true Christian to detest sin.
We hate the things that offend God.
In such a position as having to commit murder, a true Christian will NOT do so and would rather die themselves, hence the term martyr.

I don't like the tone of your question and have decided to just forgive you for the mocking and mean treatment of Vietnam Vets. I lived for three years in a bamboo cage on my knees. I was eventually released by a sweep that was done by the military. I am now permanently disabled and I used to be fabuloous ball room dancer. Ahh those days are all over. Remember to be kind and friendly to everyone online for you do not know who has served and been beaten by the Viet Cong while living as a prisoner. Thanks

Yes He would and why would your victims be in Hell? If they had a relationship with God or had asked God to forgive them and take them home (before "you" killed them) they would be up in Heaven too.

If the killer were truly repentent, Jesus would forgive. But if he's just saying that before he dies, Jesus will know that too.

Jesus forgives but man places himself in Hell. Your placement is determined by your inner desires. Death bed confessions are useless.

All sins are equal in God's eye, and anyone who asks for forgiveness is forgiven, if they truly seek the Lord's Grace and Mercy.

Remember the story of the robbers who were crucified with Jesus:
39 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Luke 23:39-43.
If we are truly repentant (and God knows our hearts!) we can be forgiven at any time.
