That's what I was thinking, but that answer won't satisfy the all of the families of all the victims, I'm sure. If it were me, I'd probably be satisfied if they were forced to continuously listen to recordings of talks by Richard Dawkins or some apostate talking about all the faults in the Quran. It's a strange answer I know, but I cannot think of something worse for someone like "Jihadi John", short of actually stooping to the level and inflicting physical harm on them.
If the punishment is to be death then apparently Deash is really scared of Kurdish ladies with guns. Maybe there's something in that? A woman firing an AK-47 at them would, perhaps, be a very ironic punishment considering how they view women.

If you want to 'satisfy' the victims' families, you've moved out of the realm of punishment and into revenge. This is why those of us in the soi disant civilized world don't leave justice to the mob.
*shrug* As for the rest of your post, there's a pretty well-worn saying that seems to fit right here: 'If we follow the path of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, very soon the whole world will be blind and toothless.' This was said by a man who knew a little something about injustice.
