Three men charged in the 2018 prison killing of notorious Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger have reached plea deals with prosecutors, as revealed in court documents filed on Monday. This development comes nearly six years after the 89-year-old gangster was beaten to death in his cell at a troubled West Virginia prison.
Fotios “Freddy” Geas and Paul J. DeCologero were accused of repeatedly striking Bulger in the head, while Sean McKinnon served as a lookout during the fatal incident. An inmate witness disclosed that DeCologero mentioned using a belt with a lock attached to it to carry out the fatal beating.
