Road-rage murderer Kenneth Noye ‘pulls out as £200-a-head gala after-dinner speaker’: Parole bosses tell killer, 76, he could be sent back to prison – after he’s caught cavorting with Hatton Garden diamond thief

Road-rage murderer Kenneth Noye has reportedly pulled out from a well-paid guest speaker role after parole bosses threatened him with prison.

Noye, 76, was released from jail in 2019 after serving a life sentence for fatally stabbing motorist Stephen Cameron, 21, by the M25 in 1996.

The former gangster, who also killed a police officer in 1985, is banned from socialising with members of the criminal underworld as part of the terms of his release.

MailOnline revealed Noye previously risked being recalled to prison for breaching his parole conditions after he enjoyed a night out with one of the Hatton Garden diamond thieves on Saturday.

Noye met up with career criminal John ‘Kenny’ Collins at a James Bond-themed evening in Epsom, Surrey.

Collins, 83, was one of the ringleaders of the £14million ‘Diamond Geezer’ Hatton Garden heist – and served a six-year jail term for it.

Onlookers said Noye and Collins ‘got on like a house on fire’ at the black-tie event – and that Collins collapsed laughing when he pulled a toy $100 bill from a Christmas cracker.

A guest told MailOnline: ‘They talked for hours and were laughing and joking. Kenny had this $100 note and was waving it in the air. He found the whole thing hilarious.’

But Noye may not find it so funny if parole officials see the photo of the two career criminals smiling for the camera – and recall him to prison for breaching the terms of his freedom.

A source said: ‘He has to keep in touch with parole officers. He is not allowed a passport and he must stay away from the gangland fraternity. One of his release conditions is not to knowingly engage with other criminals.

‘He has been going straight since his release and he isn’t likely to commit any more crimes, but the law has its eyes firmly on him. This will never stop.’

Noye’s companion at the weekend Collins was the lookout man for the gang which carried out the Hatton Garden heist on the Easter bank holiday in 2015.

The raid at the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit company in London’s diamond district is believed to be the largest burglary in British legal history.

The official value of the stolen goods was estimated at £13.7million of jewellery, precious gems and cash – but it was reported that because of the unclear nature of what was taken, the true value could be closer to £28million.

The heist was planned and carried out by six elderly men who were experienced thieves, all of whom were arrested, pleaded guilty and received prison sentences in March 2016.

Four other men were also tried on suspicion of involvement; three were found guilty and sent to prison, while the fourth was cleared.

Collins was released in 2018 after serving half of his sentence – but he was recalled to prison in 2019 after failing to pay back millions of pounds stolen in the raid.

He was ordered to pay back £7.6million but Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard he had ‘neglected to co-operate’.

On-the-run Noye was caught in 1998 in Spain.

The gangster also helped launder £26 million in gold bullion from the Brink’s-Mat robbery in 1983. 

He was set to be an after dinner speaker along with Kevin Lane – who was given a life sentence for murder committed back in 1994 – and Kenny Collins, who was the ringleader of the Hatton Garden heist in 2015.

He would also have been speaking alongside Tyson Fury’s uncle Peter Fury, who was jailed for 10 years in 1995 for possession of amphetamine with intent to supply. 

Today, a source confirmed to The Sun that Noye had pulled out of the event.

They said: ‘His probation officers are scrutinising everything and have warned him he faces being recalled to prison if he continues.’
