Boston gangster Whitey Bulger was murdered by prison inmates just six minutes after his cell doors was unlocked on his first morning at West
Virginia's notoriously violent Hazelton Prison.
The shocking timeline was revealed as US attorneys asked a
Florida judge that one of the alleged accomplices to Bulger's murder, former Hazelton inmate Sean McKinnon, be detained until his trial. McKinnon, 36, was released from prison earlier this year after completing his prior sentence.

McKinnon - who acted as lookout - was heard discussing Bulger's arrival with his mom over the phone in a recorded call, with his mother urging him not to get involved.
Bulger had previously been serving out his life-sentence for 11 murders in units reserved for high-risk inmates such as informants or pedophiles, but was placed among the general population in Hazelton - a decision that ultimately proved fatal.
The timeline showed Bulger arrived at Hazelton Prison at 8:30pm on October 29. It is unclear what time prisoners were locked up for the evening.
But at 5am the following morning, cellmates Geas and McKinnon were seen on surveillance meeting in their cell with DeCologero.
At 6am all cell doors in the prison unit were unlocked so inmates could leave for breakfast. Then at 6:06am Geas and DeCologero entered Bulger's cell and remained within for seven minutes, leaving at 6:13am.
