Ronnie Kray allegedly confessed to murdering Marilyn Monroe. A former associate of Ronnie Kray has shockingly alleged that the infamous gangster was behind the death of the Hollywood icon. According to the Kray twins' ex-publicist, James Campbell, he personally heard the confession from Ronnie himself.
Kray is said to have boasted that he was contracted by the American mafia for the hit, describing it as a 'piece of cake. ' These astonishing new allegations are set to reignite the controversy surrounding Monroe's premature demise at age 36 in her Los Angeles home in 1962.
He recounted how Kray bragged about being the one who administered the fatal barbiturate overdose to Monroe. Now 76, Campbell, who gained the trust of the Krays in the 1980s, revealed: "Ronnie suddenly started talking about how he had murdered Marilyn Monroe. I was very shocked and tried to change the subject, but he was on a roll.".
"He went to America. He was on a fake passport so as not to leave a paper trail. He was picked up at the airport and briefed about the job he had to do. The mob drove him to Marilyn Monroe's house in Los Angeles. Ronnie was dressed as a maintenance man, baseball cap and a tool bag." Kray also claimed that Peter Lawford, brother-in-law to President John F Kennedy, allowed him entry into Monroe's residence, reports the Daily Star.
James elaborated, "He knocked on the door of her house and Peter Lawford answered. Ronnie said 'where is she? ' and Lawford said 'she's in the bedroom'. They went into the bedroom, Marilyn Monroe was lying half-naked on the bed, it was a big bedroom with a big bed. Ronnie said to himself, this won't take long. He force-fed her drugs and watched her die.".
