To the best of my knowledge The Bible only has record of one. James' murder is mentioned in the book of Acts ch. 12 verse 2. Jesus' prophecy of Peter's death is told in the book of John ch.21 verse 18-19. The Apostle John was exiled to the Greek island Patmos and is believed to have died in the Turkish regions of old age. Church traditions however show that 11 of the 12 were martyred. Hope this helps.

Catholic tradition holds that 11 of the apostles were martyrs. The only exception being Saint John. However, the Roman authorities tried unsuccessfully to kill him and, instead, sent him into exile on Patmos.

How was Saint Batholomew martyred?

St Bartholomew (also known as Nathaniel) was one of the first 12 Apostles. He was martyred in Armenia, but there are a bunch of stories on the way he was killed. One is that he was whipped, skinned alive and beheaded; another says that he was drowned in the sea; yet another tells of his being crucified head down. I'm sure that there are others that I don't know.
