impaler

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stakeholder' is the definition.
(I have seen 'murderous stakeholder' mean 'impaler' so perhaps 'stakeholder' could also mean 'impaler')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for impaler that I've seen is " murderous stakeholder".)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
