The nearest term used in contemporary psychiatry is antisocial personality disorder. AFAIK some forensic psychiatrists use the term psychopath, but the criteria are not clear and it’s not a recognized diagnosis. Forget about the press the term gets.
Lack of empathy certainly isn’t sufficient for either label, and can be caused by other psychiatric conditions.
