Acts 5:30 - The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

What preposition would you like? the simple translation of the participle in its tense and mode is "him whom you have hung" (aor act plural nom masc) I dont think that the immplication is "by hanging". it is a reference to the Deuteronomy 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. What makes it even worse is that you hanged him on a tree!

To me the grammar does not indicate death by hanging but death adding the curse of hanging on a tree
