Georges "Bo-Boy" Beaulieu |
Georges Beaulieu, called "Bo-Boy," was born in the early 1950s and became the president of the Gitans biker gang at a young age, although the CECO claimed that Jacques "Boudou" was the real, unofficial leader of the band. When the Gitans became Hells Angels, Beaulieu remained the group's boss. His leadership played an important role in developing the Sherbrooke chapter into a well structured and highly influencial organization. He and the Sherbrooke chapter were involved in the March 24, 1984 slaughter of five members of the North chapter. The men were murdered at the gang's Lennoxville clubhouse and, days before, Beaulieu was seen |
purchasing a shipment of sleeping bags at a sports store. The sleeping bags are placed over the dead North chapter members before they are dropped into the St. Lawrence. Beaulieu, accompanied by Gilles Lachance and Luc Michaud of the Montreal chapter and Ronald McDonald of the Halifax chapter, flew to Vancouver three days after the murders to explain the murders to the members of the Hells Angels British Columbia chapters. A few weeks later, on April 17, Beaulieu, Charles "Cash" Filteau, Jean-Yves "Boule" Tremblay, Guy "Mouski" Rodrigue, Louis "Bidou" Brochu, and Gerry "Le Chat" Coulombe travelled to Paris to celebrate the Paris chapter's fourth anniversary and to tell them what happened to the North chapter. After the bodies were fished out of the river and police began making arrests, Beaulieu went into hiding. he was arrested in a telephone booth in Amsterdam on April 4, 1988, while he was talking with a member of the club's Quebec chapter. He was extradited back to Canada where he pled guilty to five murders and was jailed. Beaulieu was arrested in Alcapulco, Mexico, on April 3, 2001, along with Hells Angels Jacques Rodrigue and Guy Dubé, drug kingpin Claude Faber, and associates Richard Lock, Jacques Benoit, Alain Saint-Gelais, and Mario Bonce. The eight men were deemed "undesirables" and shipped back to Canada. Dubé was arrested upon their arrival and charged with drug trafficking and conspiring to traffic in drugs. |
