After consulting my Japanese street slang dictionary, I've gotten;

zoku- meaning tribe or gang, and can be used as a suffix to create a new slang word for a new kind of tribe or gang, it is widely used in Japan.

chinchin- a cute word that denotes the penis

To call a group in effect; a dingaling gang, you would say- chinchinzoku.

You could also just shorten it to chinzoku. This would make sense if all your assassins were very unassuming and good looking innocent types.
Bear in mind that chin-zoku is a term for a family that eats meals prepared in a microwave oven. I believe there is a syllabic stress difference in chinzoku and chin-zoku.

Other possible prefixes to zoku-

Chonga- meaning bachelor
Dani- meaning a lecherous member of society
Hayai- meaning quick, applies to the speed of work done, Te ga hayai translates to "the hands are quick", but is slang for "fast worker" or "sexpert"

Of actual killing-

Yaru- meaning to do in, slang for to kill

More words implicative of kill-
Korosu- the standard word for killing or murdering
Koroshiya- meaning hired killer
Satsugai- meaning slaying
Satsu- meaning the character of the korosu, or murderer
Bukkorosu- meaning totally kill

Bu is a prefix used as an exaggerative element resulting in a fiercer adjectival slang word

Ahem...

I remember the term 'wet work' from Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminati books back in the 80's as being an Italian term for murdering someone in a manner where the blood was spilled.

Back in the 70's there was a movie where assassins were referred to as 'mechanics' because they fix the problem caused by someone being alive.

It was used in an episode of The Twilight Zone for the ultimate poison.

If this is supposed to be an Amazon-style group (i.e. no men) then cleaning ladies might be cool.
