The night the Krays moved into my house (after shooting dead a rival gangster)

The night the Krays moved into my house (after shooting dead a rival gangster) After shooting dead a rival gangster in full view of drinkers in an East End pub, the Kray twins took over a young man's family home for two weeks as they hid from the law. Award-winning crime writer Stephen Wright talks to David Teale, whose new book, ‘Surviving the Krays’, tells the story of how he met the notorious gangsters aged 17, suffered a brutal sex attack by Ronnie, was then jailed for three years after being ‘fitted up’, and how his testimony helped to ensure the Kray twins were themselves locked up for murder in 1969 (but not before the brothers sowed the seeds of unimaginable tragedy in Teale’s own life).
