In a tragic turn of events, the woman who aided in the capture of Kenneth Noye, the road rage killer responsible for the death of a young man almost three decades ago, has been living in constant fear since the passing of the detective who apprehended Noye.
Former Detective Superintendent Nick Biddiss, who recently passed away at the age of 79, successfully located Noye in Spain following the fatal stabbing of electrician Stephen Cameron in May 1996. The witness to the brutal attack, Danielle Cable, who was only 17 at the time, has been in hiding ever since the incident.
Despite the risks, Cable assisted 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, all while living under an assumed identity for her safety. Biddiss acknowledged the toll this ordeal has taken on Cable, emphasizing that she remains in witness protection.
Reflecting on the situation, Biddiss highlighted Cable’s bravery and the ongoing threat posed by Noye, who has a widespread network. He expressed concerns about the glorification of criminals in media portrayals, citing a recent BBC drama that depicted Noye in a favorable light.
Noye, notorious for his involvement in criminal activities, was eventually captured and extradited to the UK after a relentless pursuit by Biddiss and his team. Despite the challenges faced during the operation, Cable’s cooperation was instrumental in Noye’s apprehension.
The dedication and integrity of individuals like Biddiss, who prioritized justice for victims, serve as a reminder of the importance of upholding law and order. Noye’s conviction in 2000 brought some closure to the case, but the lasting impact on those involved, including Cable, underscores the enduring consequences of violent crimes.
