Contract murder is set in within the segment of qualified types of murder where one subject hires another subject to kill a targeted person or a group of people. In that process, the employer or instigator hires a person who charges the services with money or with other value. The phenomenology of contract murder in a civilised society arouses a great public interest and a significant degree of concern in the context of general security, while the courts put the contract murder into the category of most severe cases. This paper deals with and analyses the typology of contract murders on the basis of motivational samples, the types of hitmen with the reference to their characteristics and the segments of special investigations when contract murder is concerned. With such approach, the aim is to give a scientific and expert contribution to a complex investigation on contract murder, which will help in future research about this issue
