Well, considering how many crazies we have that rape, mutilate and torture, it kinda sounds like a good idea. On the other hand, the death sentence is basically to stop the evil, not perpetuate it, so ending the life of the murderer should take care of things. If God wants more vengance, or even to forgive, that's His call, not ours. Ours is simply to put an end to the evil commited by the condemned person on this earth.

(178. O you who believe! Al-Qisâs (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money, to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment )178-2

In Islam if you kill an innocent soul without a legal right (e.g. self defense) your soul should be taken the same way you did...
See, killing innocent people is crossing Allah's lines, and those are major sins
Plus Allah had put law (hudud) for things like to imply how seriously dangerous they are and its a way to limit anyone who is thinking of doing so...

Because in Islam it is forbidden to kill someone Muslim or even not...so any Muslim kill some one he will be judged to be killed that's all

its not that you should be killed in the same manner...its more that you do not do anything worse...that you dont exceed limits. if you say killing the killer is not fair, you should think about the person who was killed and if his/her death is fair. if the family choses to forgive the killer, then he is not killed. forgiveness and fairness are important in islam.

That concept goes back to the old Bible and the eye for a eye ,tooth for a tooth form of governing. I like it myself.

Ah yes, that old eye for an eye belief. MLK said that if we all practiced an eye for an eye, we would all be soon blind, but I don't think so.

In the Quran it says that forgiveness is better than punishment and that God prefers that.
