A judicial executioner is a person who carries out a death sentence ordered by the state or other legal authority, which was known in feudal terminology as high justice.

Mr Bello bellowed when he caught sight of the gallows twenty yards away. The hangman waited patiently, a casual look on his face high up on the raised platform.
Bowels already loose, he defecated when he looked up and saw the rope that's going to be placed around his scrawny neck.
