murder. Their brother Charlie was imprisoned for ten years for his part in the
murders.

The Aftermath

Ronnie Kray was a Category A prisoner, denied almost all liberties and not
allowed to mix with other prisoners. He was eventually certified insane, his
paranoid schizophrenia being tempered with constant medication. In 1979
he was committed and lived the remainder of his life in Broadmoor Hospital in
Crowthorne, Berkshire. Reggie Kray, constantly being refused parole, was
locked up in Maidstone Prison for 8 years (Category B). In 1997, he was
transferred to the Category C Wayland Prison in Norfolk.

In 1985, officials at Broadmoor Hospital discovered a business card of Ronnie's
that led to evidence that the twins, from separate institutions, were operating
Krayleigh Enterprises (a "lucrative bodyguard and 'protection' business for
Hollywood stars") together with their older brother Charlie Kray and an
accomplice at large. Among their clients was Frank Sinatra, who hired 18
bodyguards from Krayleigh Enterprises on his visit to the 1985 Wimbledon
Championships. Documents released under Freedom of Information laws
revealed that although officials were concerned about this operation, they
believed that there was no legal basis to shut it down.
Ronnie

In his book ‘My Story’ and a comment to writer Robin McGibbon on The Kray
Tapes, Ronnie states: "I'm bisexual, not gay. Bisexual." He also planned to
marry a woman named Monica in the 1960s whom he had dated for nearly
three years. He called her "the most beautiful woman he had ever seen." This
is mentioned in Reggie's book Born Fighter. Also, extracts are mentioned in
Ron's own book My Story and Kate Kray's books Sorted; Murder, Madness and
Marriage, and Free at Last.
Ronnie was arrested before he had the chance to marry Monica, and
although she married his ex-boyfriend, 59 letters sent to her between May
and December 1968 when he was imprisoned show Ronnie still had feelings
for her, and his love for her was very clear. He referred to her as "my little
angel" and "my little doll." She also still had feelings for Ronnie. These letters
were auctioned in 2010.

A letter Ronnie sent to his mother Violet from prison in 1968 also refers to
Monica: "if they let me see Monica and put me with Reg, I could not ask for
more." He went on to say, with spelling mistakes, "Monica is the only girl I have
liked in my life. She is a luvely little person as you know. When you see her, tell
her I am in luve with her more than ever." Ronnie subsequently married twice,
marrying Elaine Mildener in 1985 at Broadmoor chapel before the couple Page199
