	TWINSTUFF.COM--Evil Twins
		The book is called 'Evil Twins: Chilling True Stories of Twins, Killing and Insanity' and its author, John Glatt, introduces readers in case after sad case of twins who either took their mysterious bonding to horrible extremes or in some instances, turned on each other.
		The stories tend to fall into three types: twins who entered a life of crime together and used each for support, twins who turned on each other with murderous consequences, or stories where one twin embarked on a crime and the other twin helped to cover up for his or her twin.
		Many of the twins stories appear to be the results of horribly abused childhoods, and you would like to think that the love and support of a strong family upbringing would counter most societal pressures.

		London, 1967: The Kray twins are driving through London’s West End on their way to a top London nightclub.
		Throughout the mid sixties the Krays had openly flouted the law; a number of high profile trials had ended in their favour and their relationship with the media, which depicted them as ‘untouchable’ gangsters, had infuriated even the most moderate of men at Scotland Yard.
		The fact that the police were aware of what the Kray’s had done, but had no way of proving it, (Bill would never have testified in court) might explain why the twins served such long sentences for murdering George Cornell and Jack ‘The Hat’ McVitie.

		LONDON, England -- Both fans and victims of the Kray Twins crammed along the length of London's Bethnal Green Road to witness the funeral of gangster Reggie, and with it, the passing of the crime dynasty he ran along with twin brother Ronnie.
		The "Terrible Twins" had started the "East End hardman" look back in the '60s, with their Prince-of-Wales-check suits, highly-polished brogue shoes, narrow silk ties and, most important of all, their never-smiling faces.
		Sadly it seems the fact the Kray Twins went to jail in the prime of life -- they were 34 -- and died there, is likely to be forgotten among those who revere and, worse still, emulate them.

		Pearson is in no doubt about the true nature of the twins - he sees and depicts them as callous murderers, but in his attempt to analyse the roots of their behaviour, builds a fascinating picture of sibling rivalry and mental illness.
		The legendary status bestowed upon the Kray Twins is largely due to John Pearson's groundbreaking 1972 biography 'The Profession of Violence'.
		It is difficult to imagine there being anything new that could be written about the Twins, but Pearson somehow manages to give a completely new insight into their private lives, including the thoughts of their Mother and Father, gained from hours spent in their company in his position as the Twins' official biographer.
