Recounting his years as a hired killer, he says most of his jobs began with a voice down the phone telling him where to meet. At the safe house he would find the weapons and the hit squad. They would pass around a photo of their target — a police chief who owed money, a politician who got in the way — and wait for the signal, sometimes for days.
The target can be at home, at the office, outside a mall, or on patrol, but the killers rarely struggle to find their prey. Bodyguards are regularly bought off.
Several shots to the back of the head or a tight ring of bullets through the car door and into the body is enough.
The killers are told to cut off the victim’s head if he talked too much. They will saw off his arms and fingers if he stole drugs and cash. And they’ll chop up his body if they’ve been told to.
