About this listen
In this episode, we talk about the violent rise and devastating fall of Ronnie and Reggie Kray, the twin brothers who ruled London’s East End with fear and brutality. We cover their early days at Repton Boxing Club, their criminal takeover of Soho clubs, their war with the Richardson gang, and a series of high-profile murders including George Cornell, Jack McVitie, and Frank Mitchell. We dig into their manipulation of the media, political scandals involving Lord Boothby, and Ronnie’s untreated paranoid schizophrenia. We trace their imprisonments, Reggie’s terminal cancer release, and the internal betrayal that nearly led to their assassination by their own men. We also examine the legacy — and the dangerous glamorization — of two killers who left behind blood, bodies, and a myth too many still believe.
