Michael Alleyne No remorse: Killer Michael Alleyne has boasted he is the 'King of Swagger' to fellow inmatesThe teenager who stabbed Ben Kinsella to death has bragged that he is the 'King of Swagger'.Michael Alleyne, 18, was given a life sentence for murdering Kinsella in June last year but has shown no remorse.In a letter written from his prison cell, which he signed from the 'Stab Gang', he boasted: 'I’m the King of Swagger in North London - everyone knows dat.'Alleyne also bragged about 'taming' the prison where he is serving his life sentence.He went on to issue a rallying call to the remaining members of his drug-dealing street crew - 'Market Massiv' - and said: 'Death before dishonour.'Alleyne was jailed alongside fellow gang members Jade Braithwaite, 20, and Juress Kika, 19, after they stabbed 16-year-old Kinsella - the brother of ex-Eastenders actress Brooke - 11 times after he left the Shillibeers Bar in Islington with friends.Kinsella, who had been out celebrating the end of his GCSEs, was walking home when he was separated from his friends and cornered by the three men, who wrongly believed he was involved in an earlier argument in which they were 'disrespected'.But after only three months of a minimum 19-year sentence, Alleyne still uses his gang name 'Tigger' and spoke about Braithwaite and Kika in his letter.Enlarge The letter written by Alleyne to other gang membersUnrepentant: The letter written by Alleyne - also known as Tigger - to other gang members.From his North East prison cell, he wrote that Kika - known to the gang as 'Dubzy' - is in Moorlands Prison, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, to keep them apart.Alleyne, who fell out with 6ft 6in enforcer 'Tiny' Braithwaite during their trial, branded him a 'snitch' and laughed that he is a 'walking ghost' at Highdown jail in Sutton, Surrey.Then he moaned about being 'trapped behind bars', before asking for a list of people in his gang - 'The team 4 life' - to send him their numbers.Ben KinsellaBROOKE KINSELLAAlleyne was one of three gang members jailed for stabbing 16-year-old Ben Kinsella (left) - the brother of ex-EastEnders actress Brooke (right) - to death

What we do know, however, is that what Mr Adams did take was a very great deal of pride and satisfaction in the fact that, until last week, his name and photograph were rarely, if ever, to be found in their pages. Not that he isn't a vain man, one for whom reputation, respect and standing matter little. Quite the contrary.
