M25 murderer Kenneth Noye
(Picture: PA)M25 road rage killer Kenneth Noye has told his victim’s girlfriend he is “not a danger to her” after being released from prison after 19 years.
Noye, 75, murdered 21-year-old Stephen Cameron on an M25 slip road in Swanley, Kent in 1996 and was sentenced to a minimum of 16 years behind bars.
The victim’s then 17-year-old girlfriend, Danielle Cable, was forced to assume a new identity under witness protection after giving evidence against Noye.
In comments reported by the Mirror, Noye said: “She is at no risk from me. I would be happy to assure her of that... It should never have happened.”
The 75-year-old, who was released in 2019, has talked for the first time in a new book written by Donal MacIntyre and Karl Howman.
His role in the 1983 £26 million Brink’s-Mat bullion heist is recounted in new BBC drama, The Gold.
The Mirror reports that in the book, Noye speaks with former Det Supt Ian Brown, who brought him to justice over the Brink’s-Mat heist.
After Noye murdered Mr Cameron while on licence in 1996, he fled the country and was located in Barbate, Spain, two years later.
Ms Cable flew there secretly to identify him as the man she saw knife her partner, leading him to go to trial.
In the book, Noye said that he did not harbour negative feelings towards her and said she gave “honest evidence at the trial”.
He said that he was “truly sorry for her loss” and that he was “not a danger to her in any respect.”
He added he was “devastated at Stephen’s death and circumstances around it”.
Noye was extradited to Britain in May 1999 for Mr Cameron’s murder, with Ms Cable giving evidence against him at the Old Bailey the following year.
He was found guilty of murder and jailed for life, and ordered to serve a minimum of 16 years. He was freed from prison in June 2019.
