Lynch means to execute someone, typically by hanging, without a legal trial, usually carried out by a mob as a form of extrajudicial punishment.
Therefore, hang would be the most appropriate synonym of lynch.

Lynch means to kill or hang a person.
Here technically hang is wrong because hang has different meanings according to the sentence or topic.
Example: That's the place where people are supposed to "hang" their washing.
But here "kill" is more suitable as it only has one meaning to execute a person or something.
