Vincent Flemmi - Benjamin Murder

Benjamin Murder

According to Kevin Weeks, a longtime associate of Flemmi's brother Stephen,

"The murder of Francis Benjamin, for which the Bear had gotten the life sentence, was a particularly ugly one. After he'd shot Benjamin in the head, using a gun that belonged to a cop, the Bear had cut off the head to avoid any ballistics evidence tracing the gun to the crime. But they fingered him anyhow."
