1. Fire extinguisher.

In April 2010, former student-athlete Drew Clark hit a man who was fighting with his friend with a fire extinguisher. It was in Arnos Vale, Bristol, England. Clark took a fire extinguisher and hit the man twice in the head, crushing his skull. The victim died three days later in the hospital.

2. Umbrella.

In 2012, a 40-year-old man was walking around the German city of Hannover when a stranger with an umbrella came out to meet him.

Apparently, a needle was built into the umbrella, through which mercury entered the victim's body, because of which the German fell into a coma, from which he never came out.

3. Chair.

Chairs have been killed more than once, but the most horrifying incident was probably the one that occurred on one of the London campuses in December 2013.

5. A jar of cucumbers.

When Daniel Kovarbasic was 12, he got a job walking Duane Hurley's dog. It turned out that Hurley was a pedophile, and soon their relationship turned into a sexual one. This continued until January 22, 2010, when Daniel, tired of being raped, hit Duane several times in the head with a can of pickles. And then, to make sure that Hurley was dead, he stabbed him several times with a knife. Having learned the whole story of Kovarbasic, the court sentenced him to five years probation.

6. Shovel.
