M25 road rage killer Kenneth Noye will not be freed from jail | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Road rage killer Kenneth Noye has been told he will not be released from jail on licence, the Parole Board has said. | |
However, a panel has recommended to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) that he is suitable for a move to open conditions. | |
It is up to the MoJ whether or not to accept this recommendation. | |
Being moved to an open prison is the first stage of the process that usually leads to release. Noye, 68, is entitled to another hearing within two years. | |
Noye was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 16 years, for the road rage murder of 21-year-old Stephen Cameron in 1996 during a fight on an M25 slip road in Kent. | |
He went on the run after the killing but was captured in Spain in 1998. He was jailed in 2000. | |
Brink's-Mat raid | |
The parole board met earlier this month to consider a request from Noye to be released from Wayland Prison in Norfolk. | |
He became one of Britain's most notorious criminals through his involvement in the £26m Brink's-Mat raid in 1983 - one of the UK's biggest robberies. | |
Six armed men posed as security guards and stole 6,800 gold bars from a warehouse at Heathrow Airport. | |
During the police investigation, undercover officer Det Con John Fordham was stabbed to death in the grounds of Noye's mansion in West Kingsdown, Kent in 1985. | |
Noye was cleared of murder on the grounds of self defence, but jailed for 14 years for handling stolen bullion. |
