Life Choked
Having your life stuffed out of you—a popular device for strangling one’s enemies—was the garrote. Popularized since World War 2, it has been regularly employed as a weapon by soldiers for silent killing.
Also was quite popular in some Italian movies I remember seeing as a child. This was the signature of various killers, and it sometimes appeared the hole head would actually pop right off. A garrote can be made of different materials that attached to two stick handles so not slip. Therefore, you may be used to tighten around the neck. The word garrote is a Spanish word, for stick.
