Mk 6:27c ... and having-left he-had-beheaded him in the Watch.

The 3rd phrase has these 7 narrator words, ... kai apelthōn, apekefalisen autou en tē fulakē (and having-left he-had-beheaded him in the Watch).

The 7 narrator words are top down. The 2 words "kai apelthōn" (and having left) seems to refer to the executioner after he beheaded John and left the Watch. The 5 words "apekefalisen autou en tē fulakē" (he had beheaded him in the Watch) are exactly tangent to the triangle holding the head of John on a platter on top of the Watch. The text only states the deed was done. The details are left to the imagination of the reader. The text implies the executioner has temporarily left the diagram after John the Baptist was beheaded.
