Wilfred Delaney

Age 27 at the time of his death, he was from South Boston, a rapist and armed robber who had lately been partnered by Harold Hannon, a McLaughlin hood who had killed boxer Tommy Sullivan in 1957. Winter Hill and the Mafia were looking for Hannon, and it was Wilfred’s bad luck to be with him when they grabbed him. Hannon was beaten and garroted, but Delaney was given sleeping pills and booze, and was strangled after he passed out. Both bodies were found in the harbor, August 1964.
