Jealous Roman Senators surrounded Julius Caesar and stabbed him to death. It was daylight, the identities of the killers were known and there was no mystery anywhere. As against one such death, history recorded hundreds of deaths which were shrouded in mystery and defied solution.

Poisons were easily available and members of royal families used them effectively to get rid of weak kings and queens or their rivals to the throne. Modern research has shown that thousands of years back Egyptians packed their Pharaohs in tight white clothes and buried them with ceremony. But the same research also hinted that some of the Pharaohs could have been poisoned or strangled to death by their rivals.
‘When beggars die there are no comets seen, the Heavens themselves blaze forth the death of Princes’ wrote Shakespeare in ‘Julius Caesar’. In his scholarly treatise ‘Prince’, Italian statesman Nicola Machiavelli mentioned how poison was commonly used among members of royal families to settle scores. Detection of crime and prosecution of the guilty were found wanting; several deaths remained unsolved and the guilty unpunished. Times changed, political murders continued, sometimes in full view of the public. Criminals were not caught because investigators, prosecutors and judges could be bought. Several VVIP murders were ‘solved’, in some cases offenders were punished but there were always the lingering doubts if the guilty persons were ‘really guilty’.
