Escape from the Kray madness

This work tells the story behind one of the key figures in the Kray trial.

As a young East End tearaway, Chris Lambrianou was involved in armed robbery, safe blowing, protection rackets and attempted murder.

But it was his younger brother Tony's attraction to the Kray twins that threw Chris into the national spotlight and got him convicted for a murder he did not commit.

One Saturday night, he was lured to a party that ended in the murder of Jack "The Hat" McVitie.

His crime was to help dispose of the body, and by refusing to implicate the Krays, he was jailed for life in 1969.

Reacting with violence to the prison regime, he tried to kill himself, before a vision changed him fundamentally and prompted him to become a Christian.
