Kenny Noye: Public Enemy No 1 (Blake's True Crime Library)

Product Information

Kent Police are now studying a series of sensational tapes that explain how high profile killer Kenneth Noye was harboured by a leading expat timeshare figure, based in Spain. Kenneth Noye has spent over 20 years behind bars Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd Who is Kenneth Noye? Over 500 hours of recordings of businessman Mohamed ‘Mo’ Derbah reveal how Noye, 75, was flown to France, then Tenerife, and finally was landed on the coast near Cadiz, where he hid for 22 months. Instead, long serving DCI Brian Boyce (Hugh Bonneville) arrives from counter-terrorism to take charge of the investigation. Before his wet-job (gangster slang for assassination), Decabral had claimed that there had been an attempt to stop him giving evidence. He alleged that on one occasion three bullets were pushed through his letter-box, although the police say he never reported this.

Speaking to the authors of the book, Donal MacIntyre and Karl Howman, Noye said it was time for an open and honest debate about criminality in the police.

Before Brink’s-Mat, Kenneth Noye was a businessman who operated in a well-known “grey area” of criminal activity, says writer Donal MacIntyre. I believe he did wrong and should be in prison for killing that poor boy Stephen Cameron, but I don't think it was premeditated. I don't think he got out of the car thinking, "I am going to murder him."'

The key is to start afresh right now. The reality is that only criminals will testify but no officers will."Remember what happened to Alan Decabral, the most emphatic witness at the M25 murder trial? The roly-poly crook with shoulder-length scruffy hair had been an eye-witness to the stabbing. He had turned up at the Old Bailey in his Roller and made a muffled titter pass round the courtroom when his mobile went off while he was giving evidence. Noye didn't laugh, though. Decabral told the jury: 'I saw the knife go into his chest, I saw the blood, I'll never forget his face.' But Noye, now a 75-year-old grandfather, is free and basking in the fame of being portrayed as a charismatic villain in new BBC drama The Gold. She was later forced into witness protection after giving evidence against Noye and was provided with a new name and secret home.

Wanting the truth out, she wrote to Kenny Noye in Whitemoor. She got a phone call. 'This bloke said: "Hi, I'm Kevin Noye, Kenny's son". I nearly dropped the phone.' They arranged to meet 30 minutes later outside McDonald's in Eltham, south-east London. Ann Marie said: 'I was so nervous that Kevin said he could tell it was me from 20 yards away. We sat in his car and he asked me what information I had and why I wrote to his dad. I told him that Alan had lied under oath, and he asked me could I prove this. I said that I could.' She also told Kevin how frightened she was of his father. 'He said, "Why would my father want to harm you?"'Property investment was one way of taking the proceeds of crime and making them look like those of legitimate ­business, says lawyer Bob McCunn.
