Lawyer arranged his own assassination... then blamed Guatemalan president in video made before his death (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1243089/Guatemalan-lawyer-hired-hitman-kill-blamed-president-YouTube-video-death.html)

A Guatemalan lawyer who accused the country's president of his murder in a video made before his death actually orchestrated his own assassination, investigators revealed today.
Rodrigo Rosenberg contracted a hitman to kill an extortionist - but he was really arranging to be killed himself in a way that would inflict maximum damage on Guatemala's government, a UN commission has discovered.
Rosenberg, 47, was shot five times on May 10 last year while riding his bicycle.
A day later, a videotape that he had made earlier surfaced. In it, he says: 'Unfortunately, if you are watching the message, it is because I was assassinated by President Álvaro Colom.'
