Face to face with the evil killer.. again

AGED just 17, Danielle Cable watched helplessly as her fiance Stephen Cameron was stabbed through the heart.

And as the 21-year-old's life ebbed away on an M25 slip road, her own life was destroyed, too.

For after giving evidence against Kenneth Noye and seeing him jailed for life with a minimum 16 years for the murder, Danielle was forced into witness protection, fearing she had signed her own death warrant.

But now, following Noye’s release after 19 years in prison, the career criminal has said for the first time she has nothing to fear from him.

“She is at no risk from me. I would be happy to assure her of that... It should never have happened,’ said Noye. As I walk free, so should she’

The killer, freed in 2019, has spoken out for the first time in a new book by Donal MacIntyre and Karl Howman.

It comes as Noye, now 75 and a grandfather, appears as a central character in drama series The Gold, about the 26million Brink’s-Mat bullion heist he was part of in 1983.

As the main middleman in fencing the haul, he is played by Jack Lowden as controversially charismatic.

But his true colours showed when he was convicted of handling some of the gold and conspiracy to evade VAT, getting 14 years. Incensed, he told the jury he hoped they die of cancer”.

JUSTICE

As part of the book, Noye also agreed to sit down after 40 years with the man who brought him to justice over Brink’s-Mat, former Detective Superintendent Ian Brown.

Noye was out on licence in 1996 when he stabbed Stephen and then fled the country. After police tracked him down in Barbate, Spain, Danielle travelled there to identify him in a restaurant and help bring him back to the UK to face justice.

The trial heard Noye was on his way to a get-together at his local pub when he knifed Stephen twice, in the heart and liver.
