Amr ibn Jarmuz
Amr ibn Jurmuz (Arabic: عمرو بن جرموز) was a caliph ali's soldier, who assassinated Zubayr ibn al-Awwam shortly after the Battle of the Camel, after Zubayr withdrew from the army before the battle began due to a hadith that Caliph Ali ibn Abi Talib had reminded him with regards to what Muhammad had said to Zubayr: “You will rise up in a battle against Ali ibn Abi Talib”.[1][2]

Assassination of Zubayr
When the head of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam was presented to Ali ibn Abi Talib by Amr ibn Jarmouz,Caliph Ali couldn't help but to sob and condemn the murder of his cousin. This reaction caused Amr ibn Jarmouz resentment and, drawing his sword, stabbed it into his own chest.[3]
