TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A hit man for the Boston-based Winter Hill gang pleaded guilty Thursday to killing millionaire Roger Wheeler 20 years ago at a Tulsa country club.

John Vincent Martorano, 60, grunted "guilty" to the charge of second-degree murder under a plea agreement and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

He is already serving a 15-year sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty in March to the 1982 killing of Boston businessman John Callahan.

Martorano was charged with both killings on orders from alleged mob bosses James "Whitey" Bulger, 71, and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, 66.
