Kenneth Noye

Kenneth Noye was born in Bexleyheath, Kent (now in Greater London), where his father ran a post office and his mother a dog racing track.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/696969.stm "Noye: From street vendor to Mr Big"], BBC News, 14 April 2000 A bully while a pupil at Bexleyheath Boys' Secondary Modern School, Noye ran a protection racket with his fellow pupils.{{Cite news |last=Thompson |first=Tony |date=2000-04-16 |title=Noye linked to more killings |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2000/apr/16/tonythompson.theobserver |access-date=2024-01-24 |work=The Observer |language=en-GB |issn=0029-7712}} He left school at age 15.[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11543166 "Profile: Kenneth Noye"], BBC News, 22 March 2011 For selling stolen bicycles after having altered their appearance, among other crimes, he spent a year in a borstal. Noye met a barrister's legal secretary, Brenda Tremain, who later became his wife.

The membership of Noye's Lodge, located in Hammersmith, contained a sizeable proportion of officers. Noye's membership ceased in 1987 after he failed to pay his subscriptions for two years in succession. He was subsequently expelled from the Freemasons when it was discovered that he had a criminal record, according to the Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of England.M.B.S, Higham [https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/letter--be-fair-to-the-freemasons-1315929.html "Letter; Be fair to the Freemasons"], The Independent, 24 December 1996

One of Noye's police contacts persuaded a customs official not to target him, while his tipoffs to the Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad were reportedly a means to prevent competition from rival criminals. Meanwhile, Noye built up a legitimate haulage business to use as cover. Having initially been refused planning permission for a mansion on a plot of land he owned, he was able to gain consent in a subsequent application shortly after his bungalow on the site was destroyed in a fire caused by an electrical fault.

Active as a fence, Noye was among those involved in laundering a huge quantity of stolen gold bullion taken during the Brink's-Mat robbery on 26 November 1983. While he was being investigated for his involvement in the crime, Noye fatally stabbed Detective Constable John Fordham, who was involved in the police surveillance of Noye, in the grounds of his home on 26 January 1985.

The discovery of the gold had surprised the six-man robbery crew, as they expected to find £3 million in cash;Tony Thompson [https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/nov/25/ukcrime.tonythompson "Curse of the Brinks-Mat heist claims its latest victim"], The Observer, 25 November 2001 their contacts had no experience of dealing with gold, let alone 6,800 bars worth £26 million in 1983. Mick McAvoy, one of the thieves, had asked Brian Perry to conceal the gold he had received, and it was Perry who brought in Noye and John Palmer, subsequently nicknamed "Goldfinger"; Palmer was acquitted in 1987 of knowingly handling gold from the robbery.Palmer was reported by The Independent in 1993 as being subject to a Mareva injunction gained by Brink's-Mat from the High Court of Justice enabling investigators to track his substantial financial resources.

Noye had melted down much of the gold he had received and mixed it with copper coins in an attempt to disguise its origins, although eleven gold bars from the robbery were found hidden at his home. Sentenced to fourteen years, and fined £500,000 with £200,000 costs, Noye was released from prison in 1994, having served eight years. In a civil action brought by the loss adjusters of Brink's-Mat's insurers, £3 million was recovered from Noye while he was imprisoned.Bob Ogley [http://www.bexleytimes.co.uk/news/brinks_mat_the_heist_of_the_century_1_611030 "Brinks Mat – the heist of the century"], Bexley Times, 3 December 2009

On 19 May 1996, while on release from prison on licence, Noye was involved in a road rage incident with 21-year-old motorist Stephen Cameron on a slip road of the M25 motorway near Swanley in Kent.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/704779.stm ""], BBC News, 7 April 2000[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/692329.stm "The search for Kenneth Noye"], BBC News, 14 April 2000 Noye stabbed Cameron to death with a nine-inch knife.

Police initially named Anthony Francis as the man they wanted to question in the Cameron murder. By December 1996, however, this name was found to be a false identity used by Noye after the Land Rover Discovery registered in his name and matching the vehicle driven by Cameron's killer was unloaded in Kyrenia, Cyprus, in July that year.

Decabral had testified at the trial of Noye at the Old Bailey that he saw the fight between Noye and Cameron on the motorway slip road, and told the jury that he saw Noye "lunging forward" with a knife and stabbing Cameron, testimony that helped convict him. The defence had attempted to discredit Decabral, saying he was an unreliable witness who created an "edifice of lies" in agreement with police.

After Decabral's murder Noye's defence team, led by Michael Mansfield QC, continued to attempt to discredit him as a witness in order to win Noye's release. Before he died, Decabral had received death threats in relation to his involvement in the case against Noye and said that he had been ordered by unknown gangsters to "shut up or we will shut you up."{{cite journal |title=Alan P Decabral |url=http://www.unsolved-murders.co.uk/murder-content.php?key=734&termRef=Alan%20P%20Decabral |journal=Unsolvedmurders.co.uk | date=15 October 2000 | volume=734 | issue=2000 |publisher=Black Kalandar |access-date=15 October 2022 | last1=Murders | first1=Unsolved }} He also said that someone had pushed three bullets through his letterbox with a warning. After the trial he had said "I look over my shoulder every time I go into Sainsbury's" (the murder took place in the car park of Sainsbury's Bybrook Superstore).

However, in the High Court, Mr Justice Lavender accepted a legal challenge in February 2017 that Gove had "failed to give proper or adequate weight to the recommendation of the Parole Board". Edward Fitzgerald, QC, acting for Noye, said during the previous month's hearing that the board had "noted that he had made significant progress in changing his attitudes and tackling his behavioural problems". Counsel for the Justice Secretary, Tom Weisselberg, QC, said Gove had doubted Noye had reformed, and considered there was the risk he would escape because of his connections to Spain.{{cite news|last1=Evans|first1=Martin|last2=Farmer|first2=Ben|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/24/road-rage-killer-kenneth-noye-wins-open-prison-challenge/|title=Road rage killer Kenneth Noye wins open prison challenge|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=24 February 2017|accessdate=8 August 2017}} It was announced in August 2017 that Gove's successor David Lidington had agreed Noye should be moved to open prison conditions.

The board concluded that any perceived risks could be managed in the community and thus he was suitable for release.
