10 Assassi*tion Cases from Loved Ones That Didn’t Go as Planned.

Contracting a k*ller is a terrible idea. Homicide is a complex matter, and murder conspiracies seldom end well. Though notorious h*tmen like Bugsy Siegal and Richard Kuklinski have been highly successful in the industry, many others have proven incompetent. When a clumsy assass*n teams up with an inept employer, the result can be a disaster. In this article, we present ten failed m*rder-for-hire schemes.

Nowadays, outsourcing is a common practice that can lead to unsatisfactory results. In 2013, Chinese real estate investor Tan Youhui learned this lesson the hard way. He paid h*tman Xi Guangan around $282,600 to kill Wei, a plaintiff in a lawsuit against him. However, Xi Guangan outsourced the job to another h*tman instead of carrying it out himself. This process continued, with each h*tman outsourcing the job to another, until Ling Xiansi was hired to commit the m*rder.

Instead of k*lling Wei, Ling Xiansi met with him and conspired to fake his death. They provided false photographic evidence to deceive Tan Youhui. When Wei realized that he was in danger, he contacted the police, who investigated the matter. According to Chinese court records, all six men involved were found guilty of their crimes and received prison sentences.

While Hollywood is infamous for graphic special effects, actual m*rder is not confined to the silver screen. One such case is that of Mary Ellen Samuels, who in 1988 was going through a divorce. She paid James Bernstein to orchestrate the m*rder of her husband, Robert. Strangely, Bernstein was involved romant*cally with Samuels daughter at the time.

Following Robert’s death, Samuels inherited a large sum of money, earning her the nickname “Green Widow” due to her lavish spending. However, as police began investigating the case, Mary Ellen grew anxious that Bernstein would confess. So she hired two more hitmen to eliminate him. They ultimately testified against her, and in 1994, she was given the death penalty. Although her sentence was later commuted, it is unlikely that she will ever be released from prison.

The Houston Police Department was determined to expose Lulu, and they helped Ramon fake his death by staging photos of his “body” inside a makeshift grave. Lulu was subsequently sentenced to twenty years in prison, and Ramon can now sleep peacefully.

Police were baffled by the murder of Daniel Ott in 2006 in the small village of Burton Township, as there appeared to be no motive for the heinous crime. But after a decade of investigation, the truth finally emerged. A contract k”ller had murdered Ott, and the culprit was identified as Chad South, one of the worst h*tmen in history. The investigation revealed that criminal Joe Rosebrook had promised South $10,000 to k*ll a police informant named Daniel Ott. However, South and two accomplices mistakenly targeted the wrong man as the victim was 31 years old, whereas the intended target was 69. During the struggle, Ott was killed. In 2016, a judge sentenced Rosebrook to life imprisonment for the m*rder of the innocent Daniel Ott.

The kidnappers revealed that it was her own husband who had paid them to k*ll her. Fortunately, the hitmen did not have the heart to go through with the m*rder, and instead, they gave Noela the evidence of her husband’s guilt.

Noela then returned to Australia, where she surprised her husband on the day of her own funeral. Balenga was tried and sentenced to nine years in prison, but no clear motive has ever been established. Noela’s story is a remarkable tale of survival and justice.

Loving Michelle Gaiser comes with a heavy price. In 2008, Gaiser began an extramarital relationship with Jeffrey Stern, a married attorney. However, things spiraled out of control when a jealous Gaiser ordered a hit on Jeffrey’s wife, Yvonne. Despite the first attempt failing, Gaiser was undeterred and hired two more hitmen to finish the job. Miraculously, Yvonne survived all three attempts, even after being shot in the stomach.

Initially, prosecutors suspected Jeffrey was complicit in the m*rder plot. Gaiser was offered a plea deal in exchange for her testimony against him. However, the case collapsed when authorities discovered that Gaiser had attempted to hire yet another hitman to assassinate Jeffrey. Although she was not charged for this crime, it led to the dismissal of the charges against Jeffrey in 2013. Gaiser was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
