different, just like normal though they are listed in alphabetical
order, but they are not listed by the amount of damage that they did.

organization in southeastern Europe the group was an offshoot of the
Serbian mafia with the typical gangster fondness for nicknames among
their ranks were criminals known as the fool and the rat their most
brutal member was Rico the Beast : ik : earned his nickname partly

2. Fred Burks nickname in the
underworld was pretty straightforward people called him killer his
weapon of choice was a machine gun and his hits tended to involve
multiple victims he gunned down three gang members in Detroit in 1927
in an event that became known as the Miller Flores massacre it was
the first ever use of a machine gun to commit homicide in the city

14 1929 four men dressed as police officers gunned down seven
associates of gangster bugs Moran Al Capone's biggest rival one of
the victims John May got 17 bullets Burke uncertain he was dead then

warrant to access the house of drug dealer ray ABI and his wife
Dorothy Abbie when Collins arrived he shut the Abbie's children in
their bedrooms before shooting the married couple and slitting their
throats the children were the first to find the bodies the following
morning that story is almost identical to the murder of Michael Shi
Vela and Heather McDonald in 1990 the couple were bound and killed by
a cut to the throat their children aged 8 and 9 were trapped in their
rooms and left to discover the bodies a third crime linked to Collins
the murders of Terence and Christine Hudson also features a wife

6.
Bernard Hunnic some
estimates reckoned that Bernard Hunnic known as Barry the bear had
notched up 300 kills by 1982 even the most conservative tallies are
around 100 despite that he was only convicted of a single killing and
that was in 1999 he was jailed for committing one murder and for
planning another an undercover FBI agent arrested him after paying
him to kill a drug dealer Hunnic was married to a former Playboy
bunny herself a marijuana trafficker a former employer said I've
never seen anybody as tough or mean as Barry Hunnic describing how
the Hit man would happily beat a person to the brink of death before
getting on with whatever he'd been doing he was once recorded
describing how he put broken glass into a man's mouth before beating
his face the one murder honey confessed to was the killing of cocaine
smuggler Richard Diego Messina who was found with his throat cut the
case against him in 1982 had fallen apart because police had lied
about obtaining a warrant before raiding Hun expresses to collect
evidence the cops may have been under pressure as Hunnic was said to
have been planning to overthrow the local mafia among the items they
gathered were pistols brass knuckles a high-powered rifle a homemade
Hand Grenade constructed from a beer can and a hit list honey acts
going rate was around $3,000 to $5,000 per killing the botched search
procedure got Hunnic another 17 years of freedom in which to ply his
trade he died in 2013 having served just over a decade for his crimes
7. Abdullah Kali Turkish killer

nationalist group known as the gray wolves in 1978 he and other

hit man for Mexico's Zetas drug cartel he earned between $10,000 and
$50,000 each time he killed he is currently in prison suspected of
killing 30 individuals it's not the pay or quantity of hits that
makes Rita's story so shocking though it's his age he carried out his
first killing at just 13 Rita hadn't even reached adulthood by the
time he was caught yet there are even more dramatic cases than his
Francisco Mogollon arrested in 2012 at 16 was connected to at least
50 killings for the lost Missoula Castro gang his nickname was ElEl
Nino meaning the boy and he'd been trained to use an AK-47 and
handgun among the victims he'd confessed to executing were police

different his former employers were in prison he reacted by joining a

caught in 1980 and placed in Brixton prison to await trial he joined
up with his cellmate IRA militant Gerrard toot and the men dug
through the walls and escaped over the prison roof moody moved to Belfast where
he allegedly became a killer for the Irish Republican Army he was
soon the most notorious hired killer in the United Kingdom known for

message his reputation in Northern Ireland was such that the British
security services were rumored to have dispatched an SAS hit squad to
try to take care of him moody moved back to London in the early 1990s
but he wasn't suited for the drug-fueled underworld he killed at
least one member of a criminal family before deciding to forego the
lifestyle altogether unfortunately it was too late On June 1st 1993
he was drinking in a local pub at around 10:00 pm. a man entered and
ordered a pint of lager without drinking any he approached moody the
man pulled out a gun and carefully placed four bullets and moody one
in the chest one in the head and two in the back police described it
as a professional execution with one odd feature the killer swore
while shooting moody hired killers don't usually betray such

possibilities.
