Kray Twins
Ronald and Reginald Kray, (born 1933) known as the Kray twins, "Ronnie and Reggie", were notorious violent gangsters in London in the 1960s. Both were jailed for multiple murders. Ronnie was homosexual and Reggie was bisexual. They are an example of homosexual serial killers and also of the links between homosexuality and pederasty.
The Krays were jailed in 1969 for the murder of Jack “The Hat” McVitie, and later confessed to the killing of Mad Jack Smith as well.
Links with Pedophilia
While Ronald Kray was an exclusive homosexual, his brother Reggie was bisexual. When Reggie fell in love with a woman, Frances Shea and married her, Ronnie who was jealous, had her killed and made it look like a suicide. Ronnie went around with “pet boys”. He would sometimes take them out of the country for a weekend to avoid detection. “Mad Teddy” Smith sometimes went with him and on one occasion they had a violent dispute over a boy. On one of his frequent visits to Tangier, he fell in love with an Arab boy and tried to bring him back to England, but the boy did not want to come. The Krays ran an extensive juvenile pimping ring in London in the 1950s and 60s supplying boys to among others Lord Boothby, and allegedly Benjamin Britten. On 16th January 1967, the body of Bernard Oliver, from Muswell Hill, north London, was found dumped in two suitcases on farmland in Tattingstone in Suffolk. Oliver, 17, had been a rent-boy for the Krays for several years, and the murder is now linked to the fact that Ronnie Kray had a house in the village and used it for pederast operations. [1]
Later life
A 1977 prison report on Ronnie Kray said, ‘Ronald Kray remains an active and predatory homosexual, and cares little who knows it.’ A second report describes how Kray was found in bed with another inmate. Ronald died in 1995 in Broadmoor prison. Reginald Kray, who claimed to have found religion in jail and become a born-again Christian, died in 1990. He had cancer and was released from prison just before death to spend his last days with his second wife.
The Krays have been portrayed in a film the 2015 movie Legend.[2][3][4] [5] [6]
