Steve Davis, brother of alleged James “Whitey” Bulger victim Debra Davis, stands outside the federal courthouse in Boston, Massachusetts, August 8, 2013.

Steven Davis said holding someone accountable in the killing of the man accused of strangling to death his 26-year-old sister, Debra Davis, in 1981 doesn't change anything for him and other families.

Davis is the brother of slain 26-year-old Debra Davis — who Bulger allegedly strangled with his bare hands in 1981 so she wouldn’t leak that he was an FBI informant.

"He died the way I hoped he always was going to die," Steven Davis, the brother of Debra Davis who Bulger is said to have strangled to death, told the Boston Globe.

James “Whitey” Bulger, who was killed in prison, “caused so much harm to many through his brutal crimes,” says a former US attorney who oversaw the former Boston mob boss’ prosecution.

When the body of Debra Davis was found in a shallow mob graveyard in Quincy, Whitey Bulger was accused of killing her, but never convicted.

James “Whitey” Bulger, the notorious and much-feared former Boston mob boss, was killed Tuesday morning at the US Penitentiary Hazelton in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, officials told CNN.

Bulger was accused of strangling Debra Davis, the 26-year-old girlfriend of his partner, Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi, and Deborah Hussey, also 26, the daughter of Flemmi’s common-law wife.
