Gandhi Godse approached, bowed to him, then shot him three times at close range with a Beretta semi-automatic pistol.

4. Felix Yusupov



Perhaps most interesting, or at least strange, historic murders. On December 16, 1916 a group of nobles led by Prince Felix Yusupov and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich Grigori Rasputin was murdered. According to legend, Rasputin was poisoned, shot, beaten, and finally thrown into a river of ice where he finally died he gave up. The conspirators, having decided that Rasputin's influence over Tsaritsa Alexandra (wife of Tsar Nicholas II) was too dangerous a threat to the empire, first Rasputin was poisoned with cyanide "strong enough to kill seven people". When not affected by the toxin, Yusupov shot Rasputin from behind with a pistol. Rasputin Yusupov then leaves the body to consult with others. When they returned to the body, Rasputin grabbed Yusupov's hand and whispered, "You bad boy" into his ear before throwing him across the room and ran outside. When he ran out, he shot three more times. The group followed him out and find him still struggling to continue her life.

3. Lee Harvey Oswald



Perhaps the most debated and controversial of all is Oswald's assassination November 22, 1963 murder of American president John F. Kennedy. An avowed Marxist, Oswald was a former marine who emigrated to the Soviet Union in October 1959. He then returned to the United States in 1962, found life in the Soviet Union became less as expected. After drifting through various jobs (and a failed assassination attempt against General Edwin Walker), Oswald expired at the Dallas / Ft. Worth area where he killed Kennedy. Oswald shot Kennedy from the sixth floor window of the Texas lesson Depository (where Oswald worked) as a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX. Using the Mannlicher-Caracano Oswald rifle purchased through mail order beginning of the year. I counted ten separate theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination, including the KGB, CIA, and Mafia involvement, several armed men, and imposters to both Oswald and Kennedy.

2. Andrei Lugovoi



Lugovoi is a man who is believed to have poisoned Alexander Litvinenko with Polonium-210 Valterovick on November 1, 2006. This is important because Litvinenko was the first victim of acute radiation syndrome or radiation poisoning, the murder of the first "nuclear". Litvinenko was poisoned while drinking tea estimated by Lugovoi and Dmitiri Kovtun.Litvinenko are harsh critics of the Russian government and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and today are investigating the death of Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist known for opposition to the Putin administration is found murdered in 2006.

1. Marcus Julius Brutus



In my opinion, the most famous murders in history. Brutus, and as many as sixty or more men, Gaius Julius Caesar was stabbed to death on March 15, 44 BC, "Ides of March".Caesar was a military dictator early Romans around 50 BC, but its relationship with the Roman Senate debated, to say the least. Brutus, a friend of Julius, but the first Senator Senator conspiring with others to kill Caesar because they fear the growing power it will make obsolete the Senate. Supposedly, the last words of the Emperor as he lay dying on the steps of the Forum that, "Et tu, Brute" which roughly translates as "? You too, Brutus?".
