The Richardson Gang the Richardson gang, Jimmy Andrews, was injured in the affray and went for treatment at the Whitechapel Hospital the day after. This was where George Cornell, one of the few members of the Richardson gang who were not in jail or hospital, and an old friend of Andrews, went to visit him. That evening at about 8:30 Cornell was inside the Blind Beggar public house. Ronnie Kray arrived with two associates and shot Cornell through the head at close range, killing him. One of several local businessmen, in the saloon bar at the time, said he heard Cornell's last words:
Kray, miy ridniy kray Year" with the original version for the song. The name of the song is Krai which in the Ukrainian language means the land with implication of a homeland. The Russian language has a similar word which, however, means a frontier land, a periphery. The song tells about the land of Prykarpattia between the rivers of Cheremosh and Prut. The original track was recorded at Kiev studios of Melodiya. Kray, miy ridniy kray "Kray, miy ridniy kray" (, English: My homeland, my native homeland) is a song originally recorded by Sofia Rotaru for her 1981 album "Sofia Rotaru and Chervona Ruta".
