They Tried To Cut Whitey Bulger's Tongue Out Before He Was Killed.

Authorities have one suspect in custody in Whitey Bulger's murder.

One of the two suspects in the brutal beating was identified as 51 year old Fotios "Freddy" Geas, a Mafia hit man from Massachusetts.

Geas is now in solitary confinement.

He is already serving a life sentence at the same prison for the 2003 murder of a crime boss and another man he believed was an FBI informant.

Whitey was beaten beyond recognition with a lock in a sock on Tuesday. 

His attackers also attempted to cut out his tongue.
James Joseph "Whitey" Bulger was a police informant and was serving two life sentences for participating in 11 murders.
