List Of Contract Killers And Hitmen
This article contains a list of contract killers, both living and deceased, sorted by the country in which they engaged in said crimes.

Contract killing (also known as murder-for-hire) is a form of murder or assassination in which one party hires another party to kill a targeted person or people.
