dbpprop:abstract
  • Edward "Punchy" McLaughlin was a former boxer and a member of the "The McLaughlin Brothers" gang of Charlestown, Massachusetts. After his brother Bernard McLaughlin was murdered in October 1961 by their former friend, "Winter Hill Gang" leader James "Buddy" McLean (Punchy and his brothers had been known to perform hits for gangs all over New England, including the Winter Hill Gang), Punchy and brother George McLaughlin murdered Russell Nicholson who was rumored to be McLean's driver in the shooting. After surviving many assassination attempts, one where he lost a hand and another where he lost half his jaw, Punchy was on his way to the Court House for his brother Georgie's murder trial, and was shot dead at a bus station in West Roxbury, Massachusetts.
  • Oltre alla carriera di criminale, era anche un pugile locale. Dopo l'assassinio del fratello Bernie, McLaughlin lasciò la Winter Hill Gang, entrando nella Charlestown Mob e dichiarando guerra a "Buddy" McLean. Dopo che il fratello Georgie assassinò Russell Nicholson, membro della Winter Hill Gang, McLean notò che la sua banda si stava sempre più degradando ed, inoltre, si accorse della caccia che i Fratelli McLaughlin gli stavano dando. Dopo aver compiuto una serie di omicidi, McLaughlin venne assassinato dallo stesso McLean, il quale fu assassinato l'anno successivo da un amico di Georgie, Cornelius Hughes.
