Willie Marfeo
More to the Story
In March 1969, Raymond Patriarca began his prison term. While serving time, he received a ten-year sentence from Rhode Island for conspiring to kill Willie Marfeo’s brother, Rudolph, and Anthony Melei. Both were shot gunned to death on April 20, 1968 in Providence. Patriarca completed his federal sentence in April 1973 and was transferred to a Rhode Island prison where he remained until paroled on January 9, 1975.
The murders of the Marfeo brothers are considered to be one of the most important events in Costa Nostra history that eventual crippled the New England mob and their operations.
