One-eyed police killer Dale Cregan brazenly poses for the camera in designer togs while in a maximum security facility.
A decade after he murdered two dedicated female officers, Cregan sported the trendy £100 Hugo Boss Green Label polo inside Ashworth Hospital.
Sister Kelly posted the snap of her son Oliver Cregan, 20, with his arm around his killer uncle.
She captioned the social media picture: “The boys.”
The insensitive post was slammed by Bryn Hughes – whose PC daughter Nicola was shot by Cregan in 2012.

PC Nicola Hughes was also killed by Cregan (PA)Former prison officer Bryn, who runs a charity in his daughter’s name, said: “I wish I could pose for pictures with my Nicola.
“However that privilege was cruelly taken away from us in September 2012 in a cowardly act. All we have is to look at is old images and wonder what she would be doing, how much she has changed and how she should be enjoying her life.”
Cregan, 39, got life in 2013 after admitting four murders, including those of Nicola, 23, and colleague PC Fiona Bone, 32.

Estate agent Kelly and sister Stacey often share snaps on Instagram of their killer relative. Kelly’s other son, Oscar, Oliver’s twin, is in prison for drug dealing.
Cregan has previously bragged about his stress-free days at Ashworth playing tennis and snooker, cooking pizza and kayaking in a swimming pool.
