The notorious British gangster, Reggie Kray - who with his twin, Ronnie, ruled London's East End underworld in the 1960s - has died after a battle with cancer, it has been reported on Sunday.
Kray, 66, was freed from jail on compassionate grounds in August after serving more than 30 years for the murder of Jack "The Hat" McVitie, a London gangland figure. He had been given weeks to live.
He was jailed along with Ronnie in 1969. Ronnie died in Broadmoor prison in 1995. Their elder brother, Charlie, died in jail in April while serving a sentence for plotting to smuggle cocaine.
The Kray Twins used to indulge in a lethal criminal racket by day and rub shoulders with celebrities by night. - Reuters
