Tyrell

Detailed explanation-1: -When Buckingham hesitates to kill the young princes, Richard hires Tyrrell to do the deed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Richard III is the name most associated with the mystery of the two little princes. It is said that he had them killed as their right to the throne was stronger than his. Shakespeare certainly decided that he had given the order for the boys to be killed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tyrrell was arrested by Henry VII’s forces in 1502 for supporting another Yorkist claimant to the throne. Shortly before his execution, Tyrrell is said by More to have admitted, under torture, to having murdered the princes at the behest of Richard III.
Detailed explanation-4: -Murdering the princes, despite having already deemed them illegitimate, was necessary, as proven with Edward IV, to securing the throne. The son of Richard III is often neglected in historical recounts, after all he died in 1484, just one year after the princes in the tower.
Detailed explanation-5: -Act 4, scene 3 Tyrrel reports the deaths of Edward IV’s sons.
