Which kray twin is dead

Anne Osborn, acting chief executive at the Norfolk and Norwich hospital said: 'Mr Kray will not be leaving in the foreseeable future. Reggie and his twin, Ronnie, led Britain's most notorious criminal clan. Their gang, The Firm, established a Mafia-style grip on London's criminal underworld in the Sixties, specialising in protection and extortion rackets.

The Twins, as Ronnie and Reggie were universally known, were born in Bethnal Green, east London, in , with Reggie the younger by 45 minutes.

The family was part Irish, Jewish, Gypsy and Austrian. Their father was a second-hand clothes dealer. Their mother, Violet, made them the centre of her world and they worshipped her. By the time they were 17, both were accomplished amateur boxers but decided against turning professional for fear of losing their looks.

Jaz Singh, one half of musical duo Kray Twinz, has sadly died, as confirmed by an Instagram story of the official account. Along with his twin brother Jat, Singh was known for pioneering the British Asian music scene with their expertise of combining western sounds with traditional Indian music.

The family announcement revealed that Singh had been battling covid and spent four weeks in hospital, where he was supported medically. It is unknown whether he was vaccinated. Singh, real name Jasbir Singh Hayer, is survived by his wife and at least one child — the Twinz are known for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight.

Notorious British gangster Reggie Kray, who with his twin brother Ronnie ruled London's East End underworld in the s, has died after a long battle with cancer, friends said yesterday.

Kray 66 , was freed from jail on compassionate grounds in August because of inoperable bladder cancer, after serving more than 30 years for the murder of Jack "the Hat" McVitie, a London gangland figure. He had been given just weeks to live.

The Kray twins spearheaded a lethal criminal racket by day and rubbed shoulders with celebrities by night. Their elder brother Charlie died in jail in April, while serving a sentence for plotting to smuggle cocaine. Former girlfriend and family friend, actress Barbara Windsor, remembered a polite, charming man, and criticised a court decision not to free him earlier.

I wish he'd had a little bit more time out of prison," she told Sky television. If you commit murder that's wrong, terribly wrong. At a time when there was so much corruption he had nothing to do with that and stood up against it.

A Met legend, he is best known for his part in bringing the Kray Twins to justice. After leaving policing his life long love of boxing saw him end up as chair and then president of the British Boxing Board of Control.
