The principle is the same; the griffin is a threat that has killed people and will likely kill again, so is Dettlaff. Yeah he leaves town after his massacre allowed him to commit the murder he wanted to commit. So he had the good grace to stop slaughtering innocent civilians after he got the victim he wanted. Oh what a hero.

Witchers may spare sentient monsters but they only do so if the monster either hasn't hurt anyone or isn't going to anymore. Dettlaff, the unrepentant mass murderer, fits neither criteria.
