How about having the assassin eat a lot of beans prior to assassining
some one.  Also, the assassin brings a portable fan with him.

When the assassin finds the victim, he merely cuts a FART, and turns
on the fan, making sure he doesn't shit, or the shit will hit the fan.

This way, the victim will scream in anguish- "Hey, someone just cut a fart"
and  everyone will know he was just killed.
