It's been a while since I ran a PC, so I'm not sure, but I think it was my barbarian/cleric skewering a zombie on a spear.
As for killing PCs, I allow a use of action pts in my Eberron games (I'm DMing for two groups) to turn a killing blow/effect into one that renders the target comatose for the rest of the fight, so no kills in my regular campaigns. There were a couple of one-off games I ran without that rule, however, so the last one was when an advanced dire-bear grappled, chewed on and eventually ripped off the head of the half-dragon dwarven barbarian, while the dire bear's hill giant master literally broke in two the monk who tripped him.

Hmm...as a player, I haven't killed anything at all in recent memory.
As a DM, I think it was the TPK against the level 3 group by eight goblins with crossbows...

As a DM my last kill was A Half - Fiendish Warlock NPC He was flying way surrounded by his own darkness, giving the I will kill you next time ... yada yada yada and spewing 1d6 Eldrich blasts. the PC archer only had normal arrows, but was still driving him off.
A dragon came by and ate him.
he even thought the PCs were running away from him.
As a PC - well Im a 3rd level enchanter in the middle of a published modual - I was killing twigg blights with my Rolling Ball of Firey Death!

About an hour ago in my western PBP campaign. I'm the DM but was also playing an NPC (a dwarf prospector named Flint) who is an ally of the PC's. Here's the post:
Professional football is still a decade away, as it will be 1892 when the Allegheny Athletic Association decides to start a professional team in Pittsburgh, but Flint's toss of the three bundled sticks of dynamite would have made any future football coach proud. Having moved out into the open to clear the potential obstacles posed by the saplings, the bundle sails high into the air and lands perfectly right inside the still burning campfire near three men with rifles.
The men caught the sudden movement with their peripheral vision and knew that something landed into the fire, but none of them managed to see exactly what. So instead of running they just changed targets, turning to shoot at Flint rather than the wall. But only one of the three managed to get his retargeted shot off before the dynamite exploded, and that shot sailed harmlessly above Flint's head.
The tremendous explosion that follows covers the entire area with debris, including flaming embers, coals and red-hot rocks from the fire circle. The man closest to the fire is killed instantly. The second is mortally wounded.
The third is shielded from the brunt of the blast by his soon-to-be-dead companion, and none of his wounds would have killed him except for the fact that his shirt catches fire. A combination of gunpowder residue and dried alcohol on his shirt cause it to immediately combust. He panics, so rather than dropping and rolling to put the fire out he instead turns and runs away from the farmhouse and towards the distant hills. He will eventually manage to get nearly sixty feet away before the flames fatally overtake him.

Laura: a decent sized chunk of the world, including most the powerful magic users. After killing the evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world, our group sadly realized that his Doomsday spell didn't deactivate upon his death (or maybe it did, because it turns out that he wasn't quite dead). Unfortunately, most of our antispell stuff was used in the battle with the evil sorcerer. We decide to set off the spell before it reaches full power to minimize the damage, and my PC stays behind to do it. Even the reduced power unleased an effect that everyone called the Cataclysm.
Komorak: an evil artist/wizard who had taken over some crappy village and was holding the previous lord's daughter. Broke his scrawny neck on my first grapple check.

As a Player: A Half-Elf Vampire Monk/Shadowdancer. The hard part was finding the little bugger. That Hide in plain sight ability is tough to beat. Once we managed to expose him the party fighter beat him down hard, and my wimpy little gnomish bard finished him off.
As a GM: In a one-sho d20 Modern game, a single Lizardman took out a well equipped team of three investigators. They were completely unable to deal with his bull-rush and grapple tactics. Which was what I was trying to teach them, so it all worked out well.

Star Wars Dark side redemption game. I think I've killed a good sized chunk of the galaxy... 
We found a doomsday device. A hollowed out asteroid containing an invasion fleet of automated ships with droid armies on them. All controlled by some janky force organism computer thing. Our client tried to set the thing off... so we killed her.
My kinda nasty journalist/soldier figured that she could control the thing and decided to set it off. The machine morphed its personality into that of the strongest willed individual near it. Unfortunately this was the Sith lord ghost contained in one party members sword.
At this point we found out our asteroid was one of about 20 scattered round the known universe. And right now they're all under the control of this sith lord. It's not going to be good.
Guess we're going to try and blow the asteroid up now. If nothing else, that'll make me feel better!
Ah well, at least I satisfied my curiosity about what the machine did.

A Chuul looking for food at the base of a giant 350ft tall tree.
The party is trying to locate a lost secret journal that may detail where the next piece of the Creation Schema is located. It was lost in an electric rail accident over the Talenta Gorge.
Five cars went off the bridge into the swamp about 250 feet below. Two cars were located within the thick tree branches. They discovered clues of warforged searching here and fought some large M Spiders that set up show within a car.
Finally they climbed down to the base of the tree where two cars were visiable (a third is completely destroyed and buried in the thick mud. As the party seperated to search the two cars, two Chuuls attacked. The halfling is lucky (I went easy on him) and the second Chuul decided this party was more trouble than it was worth (but may return).
Now they are sitting in a swamp surrounded by dinosaurs and halflings with the Emerald Claw close behind and the warforged possibly in the area.
