The World has seen numerous drug lords, mobsters and war lords. How do you think these people became famous? Do you think they went about killing people themselves? If that were the case, they wouldn't have made it to the fame circle before their live saw the end of day. Starting off with almost nothing, this to say the least, most famous drug lords and cartels employed highly adept and cold blooded hit men who enforced authority on the streets. While the Mexican drug cartels had numerous contract killers on their payrolls, mobsters of New York and California hired highly sophisticated and ruthless killers to carry out their trade of extortion and murder. This article throws light on the character of 5 hit men. These 5 hit men are known to be amongst the deadliest hit men in the world.

Let us learn a little more about what made them famous.

Here is the list of 5 hit men known to be amongst the deadliest hit men in the world.

Wayne Perry "Silk"

Washington DC witnessed a surge in crack cocaine dealings in the late 1980s with Alberto Martinez dominating and controlling the drug market. A sinister and highly feared drug lord, Martinez's trade would have been buried soon before it started if it weren't for Wane Perry Silk's presence in the fray. The man, along with his army, worked to enforce Martinez's authority in DC and neighboring cities. The drug trade was booming until Martinez sold out Perry for a lesser sentence. Perry was convicted of being directly involved in five murders. He was sent away for life.

Joseph Meldish

Meldish was particularly famous for his ability to severely intimidate people and make his opponents submit to his will. With an almost inherent knack for staying outside the radar, the man was often hired by top mafia families of the United States, including the Genovese and Lucchese families. A contract killer implicated in a staggering 40 murders, Meldish's ruthlessness saw an end after his knack of staying outside the radar was blown.

Jorge Ayala

Jorge Ayala was a deadly, unstoppable contract killer employed by mean girl Griselda Blanco during the 1980s Miami Coke Wars. Ayala is known to be behind a whopping 35 murders, most of them in the scene of swinging supremacy in the drug market. In 1990, Ayala was convicted on three counts of murder and sentenced to life in prison. He was also allegedly involved in phone sex with a few secretaries from the office of the Attorney, something that certainly didn't espouse his cause. Ayala's appeal is still in consideration while his counsels work towards securing redemption for the deadly killer.

Jose Martinez:

Jose Martinez is known to be amongst the most deadly hit men in the world. A contract killer employed by some of the most feared drug cartels in the world, mostly Mexican Cartels, Joseph Martinez is perhaps the most famous among his contemporaries. He was recently charged for murdering 9 people. Although records have identified him to have killed 9 people, Jose Martinez's cold-blooded character is believed to have put over 40 people to rest. He is involved in some of the most cold blooded killings, including that of a man in the presence of his children.

Benjamin Siegal:

Benjamin Siegal was starkly different from his contemporary mob bosses. Although being the boss himself, he had the distinction of taking things in his own hands at times. Apparently, Benjamin Siegal was a brilliant gunman himself. Before becoming a mob boss, Siegal personally carried out murders for top mobs, including the National Crime Syndicate. He is believed to have taken part in the brutal killing of Luciano's enemy, The Boss. Luciano was a ruthless mobster himself. Siegal later went on to found the deadliest Mafia organization of of the 1930s-50s, Murder, Inc.
