Victim's parents' anguish over Kenneth Noye appeal

The parents of road rage killer Kenneth Noye's victim have spoken of their shock after he was given leave to appeal.

The 63-year-old was jailed for life at the Old Bailey in 2000 for stabbing 21-year-old Stephen Cameron on the M25 at Swanley in Kent in 1996.

But the Criminal Cases Review Commission has referred his conviction to the Court of Appeal because of questions over the pathologist's evidence.

Noye, who had already served 14 years in jail for his part in the 1983 Brink's-Mat gold bullion robbery, failed in a legal bid in June to have his sentence reduced.

He used a 9in knife he kept in his car to stab Mr Cameron as the victim's horrified 17-year-old fiancee looked on, but claimed he acted in self-defence.

The victim's mother Toni said: "He doesn't deserve to come out. He really doesn't. He's an evil man."
