A woman who assisted in convicting a killer nearly three decades ago has been living in constant fear since the detective who apprehended the murderer passed away. Former Det Supt Nick Biddiss, who recently died at 79, located Kenneth Noye in Spain following the fatal stabbing of electrician Stephen Cameron in 1996. Danielle Cable, who was only 17 when she witnessed the violent attack on her boyfriend during a road rage incident, has been in hiding ever since.
Despite her mother’s warnings, Danielle aided Mr. Biddiss and his team in bringing Noye, also known as the M25 killer, to justice. She courageously identified Noye in Spain and testified at the Old Bailey, now living under an assumed identity with limited contact with her family. Mr. Biddiss acknowledged that Danielle’s involvement has subjected her to a life of fear due to Noye’s extensive reach.
Noye, notorious for his involvement in the Brink’s-Mat bullion heist, was portrayed in a glamorous light in a BBC drama series, much to Mr. Biddiss’ disapproval. Noye fatally stabbed Stephen in 1996 and was eventually captured in Spain after an extensive manhunt led by Mr. Biddiss. The detective’s unorthodox methods, including involving Danielle in the operation, ultimately led to Noye’s extradition and conviction in 2000.
Despite the risks and challenges, Danielle remained steadfast in seeking justice for her late boyfriend, demonstrating immense bravery throughout the ordeal. Noye was sentenced to prison in 2000 and released in 2019. Mr. Biddiss, who recently passed away, dedicated his life to upholding justice and supporting victims, leaving behind a legacy of integrity and commitment to his work.
