Most Brutal Murders

[Pogo The Clown]

The recent Jeffrey Blackman thread got me thinking of mob murders. Which are some of the most brutal? For me the worst has to be Action Jackson in Chicago. They hung him up on a meat hook through his ass, busted his knee caps with a hammer or bat, jabbed his balls with a caddle prod, then for a little extra kick they wet the caddle prod and jabbed his genitals again all in an effort to make him confess to being a rat. Finally they just left him hanging there for days until he eventually died. Poor bastard wasn't even an informant.

The Jackson one is brutal, there was also a story he was killed for a rape, how true either one is no one knows, but they really did a job on him.

There was another in Chicago that was pretty bad. I forgot the guy's name but they took a blow torch to his face. Some pretty vicious characters in that group.

Although I wouldn't put it past them using a blowtorch like that, you may be referring to William "Butch" Petrocelli. For a long time, people thought that's what happened due to how his body appeared below. But if I remember right, it came out during the Family Secrets trial that he was killed, his body left in a car that was set on fire, and that's what caused the burns. I think I remember them saying the windows were left closed which caused the fire to go out before it was supposed to.

Caso had some bad ones.

The one where the kid fucked up a boatload of weed and he kept trying to climb out of his grave and Caso was giggling and smacking him back in with a shovel.

If Leonetti is to be believed then Gigante, Tieri, and Salerno watching as some younger guys neat Tony Bananas and co. To death in a small room in Little Italy.

Going back to Caso. Hydell. He surgically shot him to keep him alive till he gave up his paymasters.

The Buffalo Soldier in Hamilton, Alberto Agueci is quite brutal too. Among other things he was notably burnt with a blowtorch ...

Yeah that's the one. I now vaguely remember that it wasn't a blow torch. Thanks. I was reading a bit up on Mad Sam Destefano. A real charmer he was. He would purposefully loan money to very high risk people hoping they wouldn't be able to pay so he would have an excuse take them to his chamber in his basement to torture them. One of his guys said he would foam at the mouth while torturing people. Mad Sam was a serial killer who was discovered by the mob.


Although accounts differ on how John Favara was killed, one of them has John Gotti cutting him up with a chainsaw while he was still alive. Pretty brutal if accurate.

No idea if this is true, but I have read online in a few places that Theresa Ferrara (one of the post-Lufthansa murders) had broken glass and battery acid forced down her throat when still alive.

-Richard Locicero, the 22 year old grandson of Charlie The Sidge, was found in 1967 laying in a Brooklyn driveway, his corpse riddled with hundreds of stab wounds and his stomach had been ripped open. Less than a year later The Sidge would also be found dead.

-Jeffrey Ciccone, the infamous Bergin "shooter" stands out to me, he'd been beaten and tortured for nearly 10 hours in the basement of a Staten Island Sweet Shoppe by Dom Borghese and Joe Watts until Watts fired 6 shots into him through a bodybag.


-Not necessarily a mob murder but In April of 1986 Jimmy Hydell discovered that his girlfriend Annette DiBiasi, was having an affair with a married man. Hydell and buddy Robert Bering decided to snatch her as she walked out the door of her house. Hydell raped her in the van. Then he and Bering wrapped her body in a tarp, naked and alive, and drove to a wooded area on Staten Island. Hydell had already dug a grave in the woods. He sent Bering back to the car and dumped her in the grave, where he shot her five times with a .22.
Bering was the driver of the hit team that ambushed Anthony Casso with Hydell that same year

The nail bomb that killed Phil Testa was pretty brutal. It blew his legs to pieces and 60% of his body was covered with third degree burns. He actually survived for about 5 hours after the bombing until he bled out in the hospital. But neighbors found pieces of his lower extremities 2 blocks away from his house. He was literally blown to bits.

Chicago's Vince Moretti was found with his face all burned out with an acetylene torch, the torso was all cut open and some of the internal organs were removed, and he was also castrated. His buddy John Mendell had countless cigarette burns all over his body and multiple stab wounds and in the end his throat was cut from ear to ear, followed by Bernard Ryan whose throat was also cut but multiple times and on top of that he was shot four times in the head. These were the guys who did the job on Accardos home and this was the punishment

Also i dont know how true is this but theres a legend from the old days regarding some unknown fella from the NY Mob who allegedly disrespected Paul Ricca by constantly calling him "waiter" and so later the cops found only the nude torso of that same fella in a suitcase, which was dumped near a train station in NY. The head, arms and legs had been cut off from the torso with a very sharp tool, probably a knife.

And I also hardly remember regarding one most brutal murder again from the old days, and i think it happened in Buffalo or maybe it was a member from that same family i dont remember. The guy's skull was deformed, his hands were cut off, pieces from his torso were missing, he was tied with a barbed wire and in the end his body was completely burned or something like that....i think it was that Agueci guy who was already mentioned by Motorfab but im not sure

Yup, thats him alright, thanks. I was only wrong about his hands being cut off...

You really have to have big worries in your head to do this to a man.
