The fascist group, who terrorised Catholics in the 20s and 30s, ambushed Aberama and Bonnie in the woods.
Their leader broke Aberama’s shoulder with a shovel before giving boxer Bonnie a beating.
Showing no mercy, he then got his cronies to bind Bonnie to a cross before shooting him from point blank range in front of his distraught father.
The episode ended with an unstable Aberama telling all to Tommy as he confronted him at his home.

A third shared: “I will not accept that Bonnie Gold is dead. And if he is I’m not watching PB again? #PeakyBlinders.”
As another said: “I can’t believe they killed Bonnie, I’m fuming #PeakyBlinders.”
One raging viewer was desperate for Blinders to exact revenge, typing: “Can’t wait for Tommy Shelby to murder every single one of the billy boys #PeakyBlinders.”
The gang leader in tonight’s episode is based on Billy Fullerton, who was the leader of the Bridgeton gang which boasted up to 800 thugs.
He terrorised Catholics and Irish immigrants and was a former member of the British Fascists who started a branch in Glasgow at the onset of the Second World War.
Fullerton formed the ‘protestant’ gang after allegedly being attacked by Irish immigrants. He died aged 56 in 1962.
