Bobby Teale recounts his terrifying experience living with Reggie Kray in the summer of 1966, while secretly informing on the twins. He details the Krays' lifestyle, their volatile relationship, and his growing fear for his safety.
Read Part One:Reggie Kray would not be most people’s first choice as a flatmate but you couldn’t exactly say ‘no’ to him, or his twin Ronnie for that matter. So, in the early summer of 1966, I found myself accepting an ‘invitation’ to move into his rented flat in north London.
So it came about that, while the police worked to gather more evidence against the Krays, Reggie was unwittingly living with the ‘supergrass’ whose evidence would see the twins jailed for life two years later. Ronnie hated anyone who got close to his twin and when he saw that we were hitting it off, he’d get angry about it. He would come over with some of the Firm and whatever boy was with him to stay the night.The brothers were always arguing. They would have screaming matches with Ronnie criticising Reggie’s drinking or any trivial thing he could come up with, but it always came back to me; the jealousy was always raging just under the surface.
It was all light-hearted enough but I was getting ever more frightened of my own shadow. Did Ronnie know about my arrangement with Scotland Yard? There was one time when I was sure that he did. Or else he was constantly half-mumbling, half-shouting, ‘I’m the governor round here. F*** the police, f*** the government!’
