Three inmates accused of killing notorious Boston gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger in prison in 2018 are scheduled to appear in federal court in northern West Virginia for a plea hearing and sentencing on Monday. The defendants, Fotios 'Freddy' Geas, Paul J. DeCologero, and Sean McKinnon, reached plea deals last month in relation to the murder of Bulger.
Whitey Bulger, aged 89, was brutally beaten to death in his cell shortly after being transferred to a troubled West Virginia prison six years ago. Geas and DeCologero allegedly struck Bulger multiple times in the head, with McKinnon acting as a lookout during the fatal assault.
