Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” - Romans 12:19

In such cases, we must leave it to the law to faithfully carry out justice (Romans 13:4), and ultimately to God who will bring them to account on the last day (Acts 17:31). However, the Christian should pray for them that God may change them and save them.

Should Christians seek revenge against such people? Is it ever right?
It is never right, the Lord alone avenges us and metes out Justice. As Christians we should pray for those who do evil, help them when they are in need, instruct them in the ways of God and guide them to the Path of Righteousness.

My sentiments exactly.
