I think he couldn't do it. The way he says he loved him and that he was a literal brother to him, he couldn't bring himself to slay him. So he chopped him up good and left.
It was the first time Obi Wan couldn't follow a direct order from the council. Unless of course he's been banging Duchess Satine this whole time, in which case this would be only the 2nd order he disobeyed.
