Jack "the Hat" McVitie was a small-time London criminal whose death helped destroy one of Britain's most infamous criminal empires. In this episode of Compact Murder, we explore McVitie's place in the East End underworld, his dangerous links to Ronnie and Reggie Kray, the failed contract killing that sealed his fate, and the brutal events at Evering Road in October 1967. It is a story of fear, reputation, betrayal, and the moment the Kray legend began to collapse under the weight of its own violence.
