Three men who are charged with ending brutal murderer Whitey Bulger's life in a West Virginia prison by smashing his head in 2018 in have reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
In documents filed in US District Court in West Virginia federal court yesterday, Fotios Geas, Paul DeCologero and Sean McKinnon have agreed to plead guilty to killing Bulger.
Geas and DeCologero allegedly cornered and killed Bulger, 89, about 12 hours after he was transferred from a prison in Florida to the one in West Virginia where they were inmates. Both have since been transferred to different federal prisons elsewhere in the country. McKinnon was charged with acting as a lookout.
Geas was already serving a life sentence for killing several men in Springfield for the Geneovese family of New York.
The judge in the case has yet to set a date to accept their formal pleas.
