Louw and Nida lets you look up a word in English and find the Greek. It
lists these possibilities:

FONEUS (Mt 22.7)
ANDROFONOS (1 Tm 1.9)
ANQRWPOKTONOS (Jn 8.44)

It also lists other possibilities for an assasin/terrorist, a "mother
killer", and a "father killer".

P.S., you can also do this kind of search on Perseus using the LSJ
