I don't understand how the forensics of the murder theory are supposed to work. We know Mills was in possession of the rifle prior to his death. Supposedly his murderer knocks on the car door, wrestles the rifle away from him and shoots him in the eye and then puts the rifle back and poses Mills to make it look like a suicide? How does his murderer know he has a rifle, and how does he take a rifle away through a car door from a strong man like Mills without a huge struggle? Then Mills just stares at his murderer while he shoots him in face without covering up or trying to drive away? That seems really unlikely.

Sounds like exactly the same protection Peter Sutcliffe was afforded during the Yorkshire Ripper Reign of terror. Judging by the picture of Sutcliffe shaking Frank Bruno's hand in Broodmoor,this looks like it had Mason connections.

Great work! Many thanks, David 🇬🇧

The simplest explanation is that he was suffering from CTE and depression and killed himself. It happens literally all the time to ex athletes who are about the age he was when he died because that's when the symptoms typically really start to manifest. The funniest explanation is that he was the jack the stripper and that he accidently choked multiple prostitutes to death with his huge horse cock during consensual paid for sex. And Operation Deepthroat found this out but they covered for him, so Mills being Jack the Stripper is a top secret British government secret to this day.

Did they test Freddie hands for gunpowder.

Some people think The Krays were the only criminals in London back then. Also, they would never harm a boxer. As boxers themselves, they had massive respect. Also Freddie was fair to busy to be Jack the Stripper! Whoever killed Mills put the fear of God into Mills' business parter. Look out for that interview.

[@stuartkester7831]

Freddie was skint and on the night of his death, his business partner said that he wasn't his usual self. He was nervous and anxious. I reckon he tried to put the black on a dangerous person. He had the rifle as a means of protection or a sign that he meant buisiness and the guy concerned got to him first. It's a simple as that. The window was open. As for Jack the Stripper. It wasn't Freddie and it wasn't Mungo Ireland, who was in Scotland when one of the murders was committed. It was probably Harold Jones.

My grandmothers surname was mills before she married my grandfather

[@brendancronin3796]

I think it was Charlie Richardson that was locked up on the day of the 66 final ...the Krays were active for a few years after that . Did they do gunpowder tests on Freddies hands ...

[@ScottAce-Macgyver]

they probably didn't do gun powder tests back then, I don't think they even done finger prints back then.

Freddie was quite camp and definitely bisexual.He had a 2nd lifestyle away from his family.Chrissie his wife admitted she knew of another partner maybe it was a guy.He was heavily in debt and trying to sell the club at the time.He was certainly bumped off but there was so much unusual activity after his death with the police and coroners office etc... who had the power to pull all those strings and to let it lie.I think he was sat waiting for the money he was promised that night in the back of the citroèn....

[@ScottAce-Macgyver]

another interview said it was the right eye.

[@benevans9233]

As his third cousin I heard the krays visited his nightclub in London

[@danrobinson572]

Eddie Richardson said something in an interview about this and stopped the interview. I guess he said to much.

[@benevans9233]

Can someone please reach out to me to talk about a family member

[@benevans9233]

Freddie was my third cousin

[@benevans9233]

Some speculate he died of carbon monoxide

[@benevans9233]

I heard that something happened in his night club he is truly family

[@benevans9233]

I bet you would not contact me though

[@BenEvans-lj7cb]

He is my third cousin

[@benevans9233]

This is my third cousin

[@patrickpayne8330]

Total TOP draw on your respect to Freddie..maybe he was at time's a cloudly diamond...his end..God knows..the only know

[@brendancronin3796]

I don't believe the lansky story...no way ...Freddie would have been such small fry to them and they would have known the attention it would have brought ...I think he was killed but it was something closer to home .

[@danrobinson572]

Probably an ex lover
