I read with interest your readers' opinions of the Krays, having witnessed Reg Kray wasting away in mind and body for many years.
I do feel that had he and the rest of the gang received the death penalty (which they justly deserved), all this wasted sentiment would never have been written about them.
I can assure you the trial of the Krays only touched on a small percentage of their dastardly deeds.
Because I signed the Official Secrets' Act I am bound to silence, but one day my book 'Hardmen & Jelly Babies' will I am sure throw new light on many of our so called 'Legends'.
