Garrote
A garrote (a Spanish word; alternative spellings include garotte and garrotte) is a handheld weapon, most often referring to a ligature of chain, rope, scarf, or wire used to strangle someone to death. The term especially refers to an execution device, but is sometimes used in assassination because it can be completely silent.
