Gaetan dindu nothin!

But on a serious note, those ass-wipe peasants tried to murder him for a few crowns. Almost did it too, remember you find him bleeding, he's been stabbed but he was lucky that he turned just at the right time and the pitchfork didn't hit vital organs or arteries.

So to put it in context: he killed a fucking leshen (exceptionally tough enemy lorewise), they tried to screw him over with his well deserved pay, EVEN though they were quite wealthy (remember the eldermans house? nice crib)  and then they tried to murder him in cold blood, obviously the whole village was in on the scheme, they most certainly planned this before he returned with the trophy. They also managed to hurt him badly, so adrenaline and all, they got the slaughter they deserved. Too bad for that little orphaned girl, but at least he managed to refrain from murdering her too, so that's another redeeming point for him.

Later you find a letter to him from another Cat witcher, that warns him that all there's a bounty on his head, for being a Cat witcher. So this guy is like a cornered animal, might have even thought at some point during his rampage that maybe the peasants were trying to collect the bounty on his head, or that maybe that leaving any alive would provide witnesses that could rat him out to the barons men who would then hunt him down.

It's clear that the devs give subtle clues for his actions to be justified, especially since the reward for letting him be is substantial than for killing him. He's no angel, but life in that world is brutal, and his actions are well justified. RIP in pieces you perfidious peasants.
