A Vermont man implicated in the 2018 prison murder of Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, is among three inmates who have agreed to a plea deal. Bulger terrorized the Boston area in the ‘70s and ‘80s. He was convicted of 11 murders but suspected of many more. He was moved to a West Virginia prison in 2018, where the 89-year-old was beaten to death just hours after he arrived. Sean McKinnon of Montpelier, along with 2 other men, one, a convicted mafia hitman, was cellmates with McKinnon, who was serving time for stealing numerous guns in Connecticut. Prosecutors have said McKinnon served as a lookout while the other 2 men beat Bulger to death.
