Who were caesars killers and how many were there and their names please?
The killers of Julius Caesar were senators who belonged to the optimates, a conservative political faction which stood for the ideals of the republic, fought against its demise and stood for the interests of the aristocracy. They were a minority of the senators as Julius Caesar had expanded the size of the senate and filled it with his supporters. According to Eutropius (an ancient Roman historian who wrote in the second half of the 4th century, thus centuries later) around 60 or more men participated in the assassination. The leaders of the conspiracy were Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus (usually he is called just Brutus) and Gaius Cassius Longinus (usually he is called just Cassius). Other names we know are Tillius Cimber, Servilius Casca and Decius Brutus.
What reason did brutus give for not killing Antony?
Brutus is an honorable man. He does not deisre to kill unless it is absolutely necessary. He doesn't want to kill Antony because he believes that Caesar is the only threat to Rome's security, and that Antony cannot do anything without Caesar around. They were only concerned with stopping Caesar from becoming a king. He doesnt want to kill Marc Antony because he doesnt want it to seem as if these conspirators wanted to just kill these political leaders. Brutus believed that it was only necessary to kill Caesar. The reason for that is Brutus thought Rome should remain a republic. ("Antony is but a limb of Caesar) Also, he thinks that it is too brutal to kill Antony along with Caesar.

Why did brutus wanted to kill Julius Caesar?
Brutus and the conspirators believed that Julius Caesar was going to become a tyrant and destroy Rome with his dictatorship. Brutus was very honorable and believed that if they killed Caesar they will be remembered as the men who saved Rome from a tyrant and will become the most honorable men in Rome. But after the death of Caesar they were the most hated men in Rome. Brutus was manipulated and persuaded by Cassius' inspirational words about saving Rome and its people that he forgot the real purpose of killing Caesar. Brutus was the only one who wanted to kill Caesar for Rome the rest just wanted to kill him out of sheer jealousy.(All the conspirators thought that he[Caesar] was power hungry and too powerful for his own good.)

In Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Cassius is jealous and envious of Caesar. He sees Caesar as just an ordinary man, like himself. He tells the story of a time when he rescued Caesar...

When Brutus delivers a soliloquy at the end of Act?
In the beginning of the play, Brutus is trusted by Caesar, and they have a filial sort of relationship. But Brutus plays a large role in Caesar's assassination. Caesar's dying words are, "Et tu, Brute?" (you too, Brutus?) because he can hardly believe that someone he loved and was close to would murder him. Brutus reasons, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more." He thinks that killing Caesar was for the greater good, and if you've read the play, you would realize that Brutus's fatal flaw is his nobility. He overthinks everything, always searching for the noble, honorable, "right" thing to do. It was also mentioned that perhaps Brutus was truly Caesar's son, of an affair. At Brutus's funeral oration, Antony says Brutus was "Caesar's angel," although it is never blatantly explained why Caesar trusts and loves Brutus so much, then is betrayed. Although Brutus's honor to Caesar is strong in the beginning, it wavers enough for him to take part in Caesar's murder, but then he sees the effects because of it. By the end of the play, Brutus sees that Rome in the hands of Antony, Octavius, etc is worse than it would have been under Caesar's ruling, and Brutus commits suicide. Note that this question does not have anything to do with the question. The question entails the relationship between BRUTUS and CASSIUS, while this answer is telling the relationship between Brutus and Caeser.
