How couldn't they? They got into a big fricking argument at his coming home party and Tommy stormed out saying "keep him here, keep him here." He might as well have left breadcrumbs.
tommy was a timebomb, so they used the excuse of killing tommy to appease batts' people, jimmy and henry were just tolerated, until they were no longer useful
whacking is not something done lightly
both Jimmy and Henry were good earners and weren't directly responsible for Bats
also Tommy was a piece of work that the rest of the gang didn't want to bother with him
>whacking is not something done lightly
It actually is for them. Even Scorsese probably realised the mistakes he made in Goodfellas, point in case look at Casino: they went after every single loose end, which is what actually happens IRL.
Those guys were ruthless and knew both Jimmy and Liotta were involved in the murder. If they were hellbent on avenging Bats it would make more sense to go after both of them as well, supposedly their "code of honor" should outweigh whatever money J&L made.

That's how I remember it.. It wasn't that they HAD to get revenge for Billy as much as they used Billy as an excuse to get rid of someone they really had grown tired of.
This is the reason Goodfellas is just midwit unrealistic albeit comfy and atmospheric SLOP. IRL all 3, 4, 5, however many were in their crew would get wiped out instantly once they found out they killed a "made" guy and there would be no surprise fake ceremonies.
They don't even know for sure that Tommy was involved although he obviously was considering he was a psycho and he was seen beefing with Billy hours before he vanished. There's no way to definitively link Jimmy and Henry so they wouldn't be able to get the okay to whack the three of them.
Kino cut left out the graphic sex scene between Paulie and Karen while Henry was in the can ad the later they cut Tommy raping Karen while Henry was in Florida.
Paulie takes care of his gabagools
It was also revenge for a lot of other things.

>Billy gets into a fight with Tommy
>Immediately disappears after that
We need our best mafia detectives on this.
In real life the murder happens two weeks after the party
They asked Sonny Red.
Spider told them
god told them
also, why'd Jimmy and Henry not get whacked?

those loose ends tied directly to the bosses no wonder they got whacked
but for an internal squabble? no reason to bury 3 earners instead of just one

It happened in real life except it took place two weeks later instead of being in the same night
