Although methods may vary. But leaving an heir for revolt to rally around is just stupid. Alexander the Great knocked off the competition the second Daddy was dead, including baby brother. Henry VII of England went on a spree that got rid of any relative of Richard III he could find. Bloody Mary was awfully tempted about sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth got rid of Cousin Mary Queen of Scots...and so on.
The practice only disappears with representative democracy...because you simply can't figure out who to kill.
