The cause of Sutcliffe's ruptured aneurysm resulting in cerebral paralysis due to bleeding into the right ventricle of the brain, is believed to have been started by an earlier head injury as he was either kicked in the head or thrown head first against a brick wall during a fight outside Lathom Hall, after a performance in January 1961.

Enforcer and hitman for the Kray Twins Jack D. McVitie aka Jack the Hat is stabbed to death by gangster Reginald Kray aka Reggie Kray at the age of 35 in Evering Road, Stoke Newington, London, Greater London, United Kingdom.

McVitie's body was never recovered, probably thrown from a boat into the sea at Newhaven, Sussex by the Krays friend and associate Freddie Foreman. Following McVitie's murder, the Krays and several other members of their gang were finally arrested by Scotland Yard who had been watching their exploits for years.
