The Murder of Tsar Pavel I. by Jacques Kuyper

"The assassins had neither a cord nor a towel to strangle him. Karyatkin, I am told, gave his scarf, and this was how Paul perished: it is not known who should be given the horrible honour of his cruel end; all the conspirators participated, but it seems that Prince Yashvil and Katarinov were most responsible for this frightful crime. It appears that Nikolay Zubov, a species of butcher, cruel and emboldened by the wine he had gulped, punched him in the face, and since he grasped in his hand a gold snuffbox, one of its sharp edges wounded the Emperor under his eye."

From a document written in 1826, based on the testimony that the conspirators had given a few years after the murder.
