You're applying human morals to a species that isn't human. The shark didn't look at this man and kill him because it wanted to rob him or because it had a perverse desire to murder or because it was a hostage situation gone wrong. It attacked him because it's a hunting animal. The man would not have been in that situation if he had chosen not to go surfing. This man put himself into danger, so as sad as it is that he has died, I think it's wrong to go on a witch hunt to try and kill a shark that for all we know will never attack a human again because now it knows that it doesn't enjoy the taste of human flesh. It probably thought he was a seal, going by that old adage that surfers look like seals from below because of the shape of surfing boards and arms dangling down if they're paddling through the water. The shark probably just attacked the guy's arm and realised he wasn't a seal and left him alone; the guy unfortunately then bleeding out and dying.
