Lavrenty Beria, Joseph Stalin's hatchetman, tried for treason, found guilty and executed on December 23, 1953, several months after the death of Stalin. Beria was executed by firing squad.

There is another account that states that in June 1953, Beria's home was assaulted by a military force intending to arrest him for treason and he was killed then and there. Supposedly, his trial was conducted in secret after his death and his "guilt" and "execution" announced months after his death in June, 1953.
