A contract killing (also '''contract murder''' or '''murder-for-hire''') is a Murder in which the killer is hired by another person for material reward, usually Money . A person who carries out a contract killing is sometimes known as a '''contract killer''' or '''hit man'''. In many countries with Judicial Systems , contract killings are examples of a situation in which Contract s are unenforceable by Law (in the sense that the customer cannot sue for Specific Performance and the contract killer cannot sue for his pay). Both a hit man and his customer can be found guilty of Homicide . Examples of contract killing can be found in the fictitious series, the Alex Rider Series, only in certain books, by Anthony Horowitz. In some jurisdictions with Capital Punishment , a contract killing may be a special circumstance. SEE ALSO |
