assassinators
Political murder perpetrators
Assassinators is a rare and somewhat redundant plural of assassin—those who murder by sudden or secret attack, especially for political or ideological reasons.
The word assassinator exists but adds little that assassin doesn't already convey.
The assassinators were never identified.
Most writers prefer the simpler assassins.
