Polonius was stabbed through the Arras by Hamlet, Abel was murdered by Cain and I’m not sure about the others but I suspect their slayers (not always murderers) went into exile and bad things later happened to them.
You’re pretty close.
They’re all the first characters to die in their respective books.
