Noye was jailed for life in 2000 for killing 21-year-old electrician Stephen, during a fight on a slip-road next to the M25 in Swanley, Kent.
Often described as one of Britain’s most notorious gangsters, Noye fled the UK in a friend’s private helicopter after the murder.
Police traced him to Spain in 1998 where he was arrested as he ate in a restaurant after he was identified by Stephen’s fiancee, Danielle Cable, who witnessed the murder.
Noye was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 1986 for the part he played in the Brink’s-Mat gold bullion robbery at Heathrow three years earlier. He served eight years.
