There are many kinds of garrotes,from thin,tough piano wire to the thicker"sicilian style" and the long scarves used by the Thuggees with weighted ends which were expertly thrown around the neck of the unwary with fatal results.
Whoa. I guess all my garroting knowledge came from of French resistence war hero movies, though I thought that attempted garroting in Godfather // looked like it was by a newbie. In Godfather it was better.
