I made a list of what was expected of him and drew the line, just waited and of course he crossed it and lost his paladin abilities, the character was respected(before it was cool like in the PHB2) as a fighter.I would say, that killing an oppenent who has surenderd is in violation of a paladins code of conduct.  But at the same time I don't believe it is an evil act, not a good act either.I played a Kensi in an oriental adventures game years ago and a similar situation developed, my character was Lawful Neutral and killed the creature. My characters thoughts on the matter were a few seconds ago this notoriusly evil creature was trying to kill me now it wants to talk no a few words does not change him from someone i put my sword through to someone i tie up.</blockquote>
