Both Richardson brothers were badly hurt but Kray associate Richard Hart was found dead nearby, shot in the face. Kray was arrested but no eyewitnesses were prepared to testify so he was released. His south London rivals were less fortunate. The police rounded up the Richardson gang four months later on the same day England won the World Cup. Charlie Richardson got 25 years and Eddie 10 years on top of a five-year sentence for affray.
At the time, prisoners roped in a trusted fellow inmate to make the tea to be poured during visiting hours in order to ensure that it would not be doctored by prison officers. Wisbey asked Mad Frankie to be mother. Hole and his son were cleared of the murder when an ID parade proved inconclusive. Linda Gerard moved to another area. Tommy Hole was now a major criminal player. During his sentence, punk and emergent dance cultures had made speed the drug of choice, and Hole became involved in the large-scale production of amphetamine sulphate.
As time passed, his dealings diversified, encompassing anything from forged MOTs to selling firearms and armed robbery. He owned a hotel in Benidorm, and was one of the wealthiest criminals in the East End. But his true nature - recidivistic, opportunistic - led to Hole stealing a car in broad daylight, on 8 September Four years later, Tommy Hole was brought to book on his more lucrative activities, and found himself in Snaresbrook Crown Court on charges of conspiracy to manufacture and supply amphetamine sulphate between 3 November and 18 January He received an eight-year sentence, which he served concurrently with a term for armed robbery.
At the same time, Kevin was also given eight years, for conspiracy to supply amphetamines. This conviction was later overturned owing to irregularities in the police surveillance log. But Kevin had already taken his own life. Christina Hole recalls seeing Tommy in , for the first time in 15 years, when she took his mother to visit him in Rampton.
She continued to visit him in hospital, returning to the man she had first courted when she was a barmaid at his local pub, the Salisbury Arms. He stayed here longer each time, until he was finally discharged,' she says. From then on, he continued to attend the East Ham Memorial Psychiatric Hospital for regular check-ups. The college says he was 'a model student'. Christina now lives alone in their flat, the entrance to which Tommy never managed to finish carpeting. She speaks delicately of the man who was broken by his son's death and who hated his past.
We bumped into an old friend one afternoon. He simply said: "Hello, how are you, Tommy? Christina says Tommy never told her about his past. She wants me to know she loved a quiet, frail man who smoked too much. She still has no idea why her husband was shot. She insists his past never returned to haunt the life they shared, and that the elaborate kitchen and bathroom fittings the couple had installed were paid for from Hole's mother's estate and were ex-showroom stock. To her, Tommy was a man appalled by scenes of violence on Crimewatch, and by the behaviour of today's drivers.
Countless theories have circulated as to why Hole was murdered. The local Newham Recorder carried a story, based on a usually reliable source, that Hole had recently been seen at the funeral of Nicky Gerard's uncle, James, bragging about how he had yet to be taken to account for the murder of Nicky.
Christina maintains that Tommy was with her putting up blinds during the funeral, and that he would have had no reason to go. The Recorder was flooded with calls refuting the theory, and quickly published a correction. Tommy was a man of the world and he looked after himself. If somebody wanted a fight with him, he had a fight with them. He was brought up like myself - the hard way - and respected by his own, for sure.
Hole's penchant for an easy deal was not exorcised by his ordeal in prison. He continued running favours for London's heavyweights, together with minor scams. But informed sources suggest that Tommy was tired of the small time. He arranged a major deal to buy cocaine. Criminal robbery has one advantage: no one turns to the police. This was an easy deal - one where the risk of reprisal was countered by the magnitude of the payoff.
Hole had chosen to make a statement of force that would make him a big enough face to leave Canning Town. John McVicar, the bank robber turned journalist, recognises the hallmarks of a contract killing.
